More about this artwork

"Street Scene, Tangier (Man Leading Calf)" is a captivating painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner, dating back to approximately 1910. This artwork takes us to the historical and exotic paths of Tangier, blending subtle architectural features with the daily life of its inhabitants.At the heart of the painting, a man leads a calf through a narrow street, framed by the textured walls of the surrounding buildings. The soft, yet vibrant strokes of white and blues imbue the scene with a cool, serene atmosphere, contrasting gently with the earthy tones of the figures. Tanner’s mastery in capturing the essence of light and shadow plays beautifully across the surface of the walls, windows, and the cobblestone street, setting a mood that is both poignant and tranquil.The portrayal is not just a mere representation of a moment but also a deeper reflection on the cultural and social dynamics of Tangier. Tanner, with his acute sense of detail and color, invites us to look beyond the physicality of the scene into the daily rhythms and the unspoken narratives of its people.

Henry Ossawa Tanner (June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937) was an American artist who spent much of his career in France. He became the first African-American painter to gain international acclaim. Tanner moved to Paris, France, in 1891 to study at the Académie Julian and gained acclaim in French artistic circles. His painting Daniel in the Lions' Den (1895, location unknown) was accepted into the 1896 Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Tanner's Resurrection of Lazarus (1896, Musée d'Orsay, Paris) was purchased by the French government after winning the third-place medal at the 1897 Salon. In 1923, the French government elected Tanner chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
