whats orientalism
A 19th century artistic movement in which western painters which sought to depict scenes from the East by mashing together various completely different cultures and environments they had seen in other paintings of the supposed East. The landscapes, architecture, clothing, animals, equipment, and practices depicted in Orientalist art could be taken from North Africa, Syria, Turkey, India, and China all at once, ultimately depicting nothing but an imagined aesthetic.
