EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Harem" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the mysterious world of an oriental harem. The image, captured by Emile Bernard in 1908, showcases a scene filled with sensuality and exoticism. In this intimate interior setting, we find several nude female figures lounging on a bed adorned with lavish furnishings. Each woman exudes confidence as they recline gracefully, their bodies bathed in natural light that accentuates their beauty. The room is decorated with ornate jewelry and delicate turbans adorning their heads, adding to the allure of these North African women. The central focus of the composition is a washing bowl placed at the foot of the bed. This simple object serves as a reminder of both practicality and indulgence within this private sanctuary. It symbolizes not only physical cleanliness but also emotional purification and self-care. Bernard's photograph captures an era when Western fascination with Middle Eastern culture was at its peak. Through his lens, he invites viewers to explore notions of femininity, nudity, and cultural identity during that time period. This stunning piece from Bridgeman Images transports us to another time and place—a world where opulence meets vulnerability; where tradition intertwines with curiosity; where beauty knows no boundaries or limitations.
