EDITORS COMMENTS
Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo's Arab Seated, His Hands Crossed on His Knees (n.d.) is a captivating etching on paper that transports us to the 19th century and the enchanting world of orientalism. The image depicts a solitary Arab man, seated in an alleyway, his profile illuminated by the soft glow of the night. His hands are crossed in front of him, as if in contemplation or prayer. The intricate details of his traditional garments and the textured patterns of the alley walls are rendered with exquisite precision, showcasing Fortuny's mastery of the etching technique. This evocative print is a testament to Fortuny's skill as an artist and his fascination with the exotic. The image invites us to explore the rich heritage of the Arab world, transporting us to a different time and place. The black and white contrast of the image adds to its timeless quality, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art. Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo, also known as Mariano Fortuny Marsal, was a Spanish artist born in Granada in 1838. He is renowned for his paintings, etchings, and textiles, which often featured Orientalist themes. Fortuny's works are held in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. This striking print, Arab Seated, His Hands Crossed on His Knees, is a rare and beautiful example of Fortuny's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of another culture.
