EDITORS COMMENTS
The Favorite of the Emir, c. 1879" is a captivating oil painting by Jean Joseph Benjamin Constant that takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Orientalism. This mesmerizing artwork showcases a scene from an exotic harem, where a courtesan lies gracefully on an embroidered terrace, surrounded by opulent fabrics and gold thread. In this vibrant composition, Constant skillfully captures the allure and mystery of the Orient through his meticulous attention to detail. The rich colors and intricate patterns transport us to a distant land filled with music and beauty. A male musician can be seen playing an oud, a traditional stringed instrument, adding melodious notes to the air. The artist's portrayal of this serene moment invites viewers to contemplate the lives of those within these luxurious walls – their occupations, relationships, and desires. The woman in focus is undoubtedly "The Favorite" her position as such evident in her reclining posture and regal presence. As we gaze upon this masterpiece at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we are reminded not only of its artistic brilliance but also its historical significance. It serves as both a testament to French Orientalist art during that era and as a window into another time and culture. Jean Joseph Benjamin Constant's "The Favorite of the Emir" continues to captivate audiences with its exquisite craftsmanship and evocative storytelling over a century later.
