ORIENTALISTES DES ECOLES ALLEMANDE ET AUTRICHIENNE

The book by Martina Haja and Guenther Wimmer comes to fill a vacuum and, for the first time, offers an overall view of the complex, many-sided world of nineteenth-century German and Austrian Orientalist painting. This book, bearing on over 70 German, Austro-Hungar ian and Swiss traveller-painters, gives us an idea of the richness, the singularities and the multiple contradictions of the Orienta list painting of German-speaking countries.
