The famous French painter was already obsessed by oriental themes (such as the Massacre of Chios and the Death of Sardanapulus) before his first visit to North Africa in the suite of the official delegation led by Count de Mornay in 1832. He produced dozens of finished canvasses on Moroccan themes (as well as Arab Tax on which he was still working at his death) while the gradual publication of his sketchbooks, notes and letters have only further emphasised his enormous role as the primary visual interpreter of Morocco to the Western World.
