In like the 1800s or whatever a bunch of euros became enamored with the backwards mysterious ways of the middle east so they made a bunch of art about it.
I think most orientalist art was made by the French and British
I know that Orientalism also includes portrayals of the far east, but I don't enjoy it as much, but what I do enjoy is the nude figures in a lot of Orientalist art
David Roberts is my personal favorite Orientalist artist
I used to own a coffee table book of his, I wonder where it went
Just great his stuff
I don't care if this counts as /h/istory or not, it is interesting and from the past. Orientalism also includes depictions of antiquity, like what is shown below
It also influenced architecture in some of the drearier countries like the UK and Sweden
Interesting art movement

That is just a parody of that one British newspaper art with Cecil Rhodes standing over Africa to show how the British Empire went from Cairo to Cape Town
Not influenced by Orientalism at all!

I don't understand this, did Orientalism have any bad consequences (other than the "mystification" of the east. Or are you adding nothing to be an butt.

The only negative impact was late 19th century philosophers cherrypicking and misrepresenting Hinduism, like with Schopenhauer.

I would like to go to my Holy Lands. One is Cambridge, England where the greatest human prophet, Mr. Charles Darwin, first published the actual bible of the human race, "On the Origin of Species". Then I would go to Stratford-On-Avon, England to visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare, who plumbed the depths of human intellect and emotion regarding war, power, ambition, tragedy, comedy, history and romance from every human perspective from the lowliest clown to the most powerful king.
I would suggest that you fill your life with science and the natural world. The only power religion has is its promise of an afterlife. The only way to combat the fatigue religion and myth creates is to fill your life with the rich diversity of nature and with facts instead.
