OIL PAINTING: Woman from Cairo at Her Door , 1887
Cairo and other urban centers were busy and densely populated in the 1800s, and were home to a mix of cultures rarely seen in highbrow American painting. Whether positioned in contrast to the ancient sites or used as ways of showing how "degenerated" the area had become since ancient times, the cultures of nineteenth-century Egypt - bazaars, harems, camel-drives, Islam - were essential raw materials for Gerome and other American constructions of northern Africa and Egypt. And almost without exception, the visual conventions and modes for illustrating contemporary Egypt fell under the heading of what today scholars call Orientalism: Gerome depicted Arab cultures ant that emphasized exoticism, strangeness, foreignness, and difference, all intended to convey messages of racial and cultural inferiority.
