From the collection of Museo del Prado
Asalto de moros a un barrio judío is a 1865 oil by Francisco Lameyer y Berenguer, held at Museo del Prado.
The painting depicts a chaotic scene with a group of people in the foreground. The figures are dressed in traditional clothing, with some wearing turbans and others in robes. In the background, there appears to be a building or structure, but it is not clearly defined. The artist has used a range of colors, including earth tones and vibrant hues, to create a sense of depth and emotion. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding to the overall sense of energy and movement. This painting is a great example of the work of Francisco Lameyer y Berenguer.
Francisco Lameyer y Berenguer (13 September 1825 – 3 June 1877) was a Spanish painter and illustrator. His early genre works show the strong influence of Goya, but his later Orientalist works owe more to Delacroix.
