1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Pavilion Near a Mosque (recto) is a 1804 by Félix Ziem, a Romanticism work, depicting Pavilion, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Sunlight glows on a white pavilion beside a mosque’s minaret. The sky is soft pink, the water still. Ziem painted this scene from memory after traveling in North Africa. He loved how light changed colors—here, it turns the building almost golden. The brushstrokes are loose, like he painted quickly to catch the moment. If you like this light, look up *impasto*—a technique where paint is laid on thickly.
Félix Ziem (26 February 1821 – 10 November 1911) was a French painter in the style of the Barbizon School, who also produced some Orientalist works.
