The Orientalists

The best art book on Orientalism was written by Kristian Davies, who I sketched in New York.

Orientalists: Western Artists in Arabia, the Sahara, Persia and India is lavishly illustrated with paintings by Jean-Léon Gérôme, Ludwig Deutsch, and Leon Belly (whose painting appears on the cover).

He includes a whole chapter on the painting "Zaporozhian Cossacks of Ukraine Writing a Letter in Reply to the Sultan of Turkey" by Ilya Repin (1844-1930), quoting the exact written exchange between the Sultan and the Cossacks. It's too spicy to quote in this blog, but you can read it here.

There's also a chapter telling the story of Gustav Bauernfeind, who created ambitious paintings, yet died unknown in Palestine in 1904.

Davies traveled all over the Middle East, Europe, and North Africa researching his book, and even found many of the locations that the paintings were based on. He shares insight into the actual experience of European artists working in the Near East, including renting market stalls and painting the view seen through little window slits to avoid censure.

The Arab sentinel by Antonio Maria Fabres y Costa

Unfortunately, most books on Orientalist art repeat the usual angle about the evils of colonialism, and they skip over any meaningful insights about the paintings themselves, how the were created, and how they were received in their day.

Orientalists: Western Artists in Arabia, the Sahara, Persia and India is unfortunately out of print and is getting rather expensive, but if you love the subject, it's worth it.
