Orientalism

Orientalism is a visual style that emerged in the 19th century and gained popularity throughout the 20th century. It is characterized by the romanticized portrayal of the 'Orient' or the East, including regions such as North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Orientalism became famous due to its exotic and fantastical depiction of Eastern cultures, often portraying them as mysterious and alluring. Artists and designers drew inspiration from the East, incorporating elements such as lush landscapes, opulent interiors, intricate patterns, and figures dressed in traditional attire.
