Painting 19th Century Imari Noh Mask Fetish Africa Asia China Japan Orientalism Japanism Travel

Painting depicting a cabinet of curiosities scene with objects evoking travel and ethnology.
The 1889 Universal Exhibition aroused a keen interest among the public of the time in the cultures of other so-called "exotic" countries.
Japan also influenced art with what came to be known as "Japonism".
This late 19th-century painting takes us on a journey to Japan with the Imari vase and the Noh Theater mask, and to Africa with the small carved wooden fetish.
The setting is completed by a painting of a landscape.
Very beautiful atmosphere evoking exoticism and a taste for art and distant cultures.
The touch is post-impressionist, the painter used a palette of blues, greens and ochres that confer a hushed atmosphere inviting travel.
This lovely painting is unsigned, but this anonymous painter was able to achieve a lovely, balanced and original composition.
The varnish has yellowed over time, a cleaning would allow brighter colors to return.
This painting is on its original canvas and stretcher.
It is presented in its imposing late 19th century carved, stuccoed and gilded wood frame.
