The story of The Arab Falconer
Fromentin was a French writer and Orientalist painter who spent years travelling the Sahara and the Maghreb in the 1850s and '60s, returning with a body of work that defined the romantic European image of North Africa. The Arab Falconer — a robed horseman with his bird of prey, framed against the dust and heat of an Algerian plain — is one of his signature compositions. The painting was widely reproduced in 19th-century print form and helped establish the Orientalist genre alongside Gérôme and Delacroix.
