Orientalism developed during the 19th century as European artists traveled to regions such as Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, and Algeria. They documented architecture, clothing, interiors, and social life with careful detail and rich color.

Paintings often portrayed courtyards, markets, desert journeys, and interior scenes filled with decorative patterns and sunlight. The movement emphasized atmosphere, texture, and observation of environment and culture.
