About Manicure Rudolph Ernst Orientalist Art Painting

In this painting we are confronted with one of the archetypal themes of Orientalist painting, that of the 'harem' or 'woman's quarters', a term derived from the Arabic aram (forbidden). As it is the case in all of Ernst paintings, as in those of his compatriot Ludwig Deutsch, the ensemble is composed of multiple borrowings, from the Ottoman style screens in the background, which serve to signify the closed quarters of the women, separating them from the public sphere, to the blend of Iznick-style inspired tiles and Byzantine and Hispano-Moresque combination in the stone work of the water basin. The harem motif is used by Ernst as a canvas on which he projects contemporary western fantasies about these mysterious oriental spaces. His realistic style, complete with the various props, carpets, ewers, tiles, screens that the artist brought back from his trips to North Africa and Turkey, lend the scene its prodigious sense of veracity. The viewer is, in fact, confronted to a theater prop which the absolute technical mastery of the artist transforms into an evocative image of an 'Orient', most importantly of a notoriously forbidden space that extremely few people would have had access to, and which fascinated Western viewers at the time and contributed to Ernst's international success as one of the most gifted Orientalist painters of his generation.
