Leisure Hour in the Harem
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Joseph Himmel that transports us to an exotic and opulent world. In this 1921 oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 33x43 cm, we are invited into the private collection of a fortunate owner who possesses this remarkable piece. The scene depicted showcases a serene moment within the harem, where women indulge in their spare time and find solace amidst luxurious surroundings. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from the intricate pipe and nargileh to the elegant fountain adorned with beautiful swans. A parrot perched nearby adds a touch of vibrant color to the composition. The women's attire is resplendent with jewels - earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and belts - emphasizing their status and beauty. They recline comfortably on sumptuous sofas around an ornate table illuminated by an exquisite lamp. Himmel's work reflects the Orientalist movement popular during his time in Germany. It evokes both fascination and fantasy as it explores themes of cultural exchange between Europe and Africa. The presence of African men dressed in traditional garments further enhances this connection. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this lavish setting is a tiger lounging peacefully beside one woman – perhaps symbolizing power or untamed nature itself. Overall, "Leisure Hour in the Harem" captivates viewers with its rich colors, meticulous details, and intriguing narrative. It serves as a window into another era while sparking our imagination about life
