About Arnaut And Two Whippet Dogs JeanLéon Gérôme Orientalism Art Painting
“Arnaut And Two Whippet Dogs” painted by the famous Orientalist artist Jean Leon Gerome, is an admirable proof of his excellent ability to portray simple subject matter in an exceptionally detailed and attractive manner. Arnauts, or Bashi-Bazouks, were irregulars in the Ottoman army and hailed from Albania and the Balkans. The strain on the Ottoman feudal system caused by the Empire's wide expanse required heavier reliance on these irregular soldiers, who were armed and maintained by the government. These soldiers neither received pay nor wore uniforms and distinctive badges. Because they were not formally trained, they could not serve in major military operations; however, they were useful for other tasks, such as reconnaissance and outpost duty. The Arnauts were deployed across the Empire, including in Cairo, where Gérôme would have encountered them wearing their distinctive white pleated kilts.About the Life Size Posters
