About The Snake Charmer
“The Snake Charmer” is one of the most popular and most discussed paintings of the highly recognized Orientalist painter Jean Leon Gerome. The painting was used as the front cover of Edward Said's ground-breaking book “Orientalism”. This highly finished academic painting, with a perfect blend of Egyptian, Turkish and Indian elements, creates a voyeuristic fantasy which attracted many debates and criticism from art historians regarding the western representation of the “Orient”. It is now held by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
