About the Artist

Edwin Lord Weeks

As one of the foremost American Orientalist painters, Weeks played a significant role in popularizing the movement in the United States and Europe. His paintings not only reflected the Western fascination with the exotic but also demonstrated a deep respect for the cultures he depicted. Unlike some of his contemporaries, who romanticized Eastern life purely for aesthetic effect, Weeks sought to document his subjects with a sense of authenticity, informed by his firsthand experiences. Today, his works remain valued for their historical insight, technical brilliance, and contribution to the larger Orientalist tradition in art.
