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!
