Orientalist oil painting of a Jerusalem street by Ellis
English, Late 19th Century
Canvas: Height 26cm, width 21cm
Frame: Height 46.5cm, width 41.5cm, depth 7cm
This charming Orientalist scene is by the English artist Paul H. Ellis (fl. 1882-1908). Exhibiting at renowned institutions such as the Royal Academy over the course of his career, Ellis was a prolific painter of Orientalist scenes.
The painting depicts a bustling street in Jerusalem, identified by the inscription ‘Street Scene / Jerusalem’ on the reverse of the canvas. Filled with warm golden light, the street is filled with a variety of figures, some sitting on the cobbled stones whilst others process through the street. A large camel in the right foreground provides a focal point amongst the figures. The surrounding environment is particularly well-rendered, with the open windows, impressive architecture, and sand-coloured stone effectively setting the scene.
The painting is rendered with an almost sketched quality, that expertly conveys the bustling atmosphere. The artist’s use of light is also particularly exceptional, with the vibrant blue sky in the upper half of the canvas contrasted by the shadowed patches on the street below.
Ensconced in an elegantly carved giltwood frame, the painting is signed in the lower left ‘Paul H. Ellis’.
This painting is an exceptional example of Orientalist painting in the 19th century, and would make a fine addition to any interior.

Orientalist oil painting of Damascus Gate in Jerusalem by Macco
German, Early 20th Century
Frame: Height 66cm, width 84cm. depth 8cm
Canvas: Height 42cm, width 59cm
Imagined and brought to life by German artist and illustrator, Georg Macco (1863-1933), this captivating Orientalist oil-on-canvas painting showcases the vibrant scene at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem.
Depicting a bustling thoroughfare, the canvas is alive with the energy of traders and their vibrant market stalls lining either side of the street. Amidst this animated marketplace are animals like goats and chickens, adding a further layer of authenticity to the scene, and showcasing the artist’s masterful range. A focal point is an elderly man, clad in warm shades of brown and beige, complemented by a vivid head scarf, as he ambles towards the viewer. Adjacent to him, a woman is immersed in a negotiation with a market vendor for an array of fruits and vegetables.
Further in the backdrop, a colourful assemblage of individuals can be seen, swathed in a rainbow palette of red, yellow, brown, and blue. Their activities range from strolling towards the viewer, moving into the distance, or engaged in lively discussions.
The painting's left side offers a more serene ambiance, with fewer market stalls and people. It features a female figure seated beside a stack of brown bags...
