Orientalism and visual culture :imagining Mesopotamia in nineteenth-century Europe

This analysis of historical exoticism in the nineteenth century examines the varied reception of the art of ancient Mesopotamia at the time of archaeological discovery in England, France and Germany. Frederick Bohrer surveys the range of visual culture of the time--from museum display, painting and sculpture, to fairs, jewelry, and illustrated magazines. The representations of Assyria and other ancient cultures are considered in the context of differences of class and gender, within the complex forces at play in nineteenth century Europe.
