Moorish Chief African Art Painting Portrait Poster

Classic Art - The Moorish Chief Painting The first time I saw this painting gracing the walls of the Philadelphia Art museum's European Collection, I was in awe. This is the real deal, yet it looked right out of a Hollywood movie. The Moorish Chief was painted in 1878 by Austrian painter Eduard Charlemont. It says on the museum label, " Standing in front of an arch that closely resembles the architecture of the Alhambra in Spain, the Moorish chief exudes power and mystery. This painting was probably shown at the Paris Salon exhibition of 1878 with the title Le Gardien du serail (The Harem Guard). " The painting is exotic,shown at the Paris Salon in 1878 as The Guardian of the Seraglio. After that, it was named The Alhambra Guard, and 1914 as The Moorish Chief. The painting shows a powerful black man, standing in an exotic room with a sword and wearing white robes. The background is a room that's modelled after the Alhambra in Spain. The historic black man is standing tall, a high ranking chieftan presumable from North Africa. The African man is standing perfectly, an aura of his leading role in a far-away campaign.

Excellent picture. Very vivid colours and sharp lines. It looks really well up close or at a distance. I had it framed and it looks superb. It is a quality product and I rate it 10 out of 10! The printing turned out very well. As mentioned above the colours are really good and the print quality is excellent. I rate the print quality 10 out of 10! I am well pleased with it and I had no hesitation in offering as a present to a friend to hang in their new home.
