OIL PAINTING: Harem Women Feeding Pigeons in a Courtyard , 1894
Gerome is known for nude slave girls, harem scenes, scenes of beautifully rendered poverty and economic oppression, and a whole host of other images which quickly became stereotypes of "the Orient", all conveying a sense of mysterious and dangerous sensuality, and all comprised of a mix of decadence and savagery. Harem Women Feeding Pigeons in a Courtyard is a painting , showing Gerome at his best.
