Two important works by Jéan-Léon Gérôme that redefined 19th-century westerners’ visual imagination of the near Islamic world, lead our annual Orientalist Sale on 30 April.

Selected by Gérôme for international exhibitions, ‘Rider and His Steed in the Desert’ reveals the artist’s narrative, pre-cinematic vision. With a photographer’s eye for depth of field, the rider and his mount, off-centre and in sharp focus, are set against the softer expanse of the Sinai desert, overwhelming and pitiless in its scale. A meditation on the harshness of the desert and the respect due to those who brave it, we are invited to identify with the plight of both man and horse.

‘Evening Prayer, Cairo’ is one of Gerome's most famous compositions. First acquired by a Manchester textile merchant whose business was being transformed by the opening of the Suez Canal, the painting soon went to a collector in America, where it remained until recently. In this work, Gérôme depicts the daily maghrib, or evening prayer, performed on the housetops of Cairo.
