The Great Jami Masjid Mosque In Mathura (India) - Edwin Lord Weeks - Orientalist Indian Art Painting - Art Prints
₹100.00
Edwin Lord Weeks is one of the most celebrated of the American Orientalists. Most of his paintings render empathy and belonging than a patronising or condescending portrayal.
Weeks who travelled and painted in Mathura, Benaras, Agra, Delhi, Amritsar and Bombay shows a mastery of artistic detail: most of his paintings bring together an amalgam of society, replete with men, women, animals, structures and dust; the royalty is incidental. A busy marketplace or a solitary mosque.
Original Weeks' paintings today command prices in excess of a million dollars at auctions. View Artist Collection

About The Great Jami Masjid Mosque In Mathura (India) Edwin Lord Weeks Orientalist Indian Art Painting
Weeks travelled what seemed to be the entirety of the Orient. But it was on a trip to the Persian villages of Tabriz, Isfahan and Shiraz where Weeks encountered the cholera epidemic, forcing him to take the first steam ship out of the country to India. He spent two years in India before returning home to Paris, studying, painting and immersing himself into the Indian culture. His paintings of Indian life gave him celebrity both in France and America and they became his specialty.The present work was painted during Weeks' first trip to India, as indicated by the use of the circular device with his signatures. The architectural elements were painted in situ and the figures were added later at his studio in Paris.About the Art Prints
