More about this artwork

The painting "Moroccan Butcher" by Theo van Rysselberghe, painted in 1882, offers a captivating glimpse into the everyday life and vibrant atmosphere of a market in Tangier. This work showcases van Rysselberghe's skill in capturing light and human activity with broad, confident brushstrokes that hint at the spontaneity of the moment.In the foreground, a figure draped in a blue cloth is seen from the back, standing and observing the central scene—a butcher's stall. The butcher, positioned behind a wooden counter, is engaged in the act of meat cutting and handling, surrounded by various cuts of meat hanging around the stall that denote the freshness and local fare offered to the patrons. Another man, perhaps a customer or an assistant, also engages with the counter scene on the opposite side, completing the interaction that centers this lively composition.To the right, another figure sits nonchalantly beside a drum and a dog, perhaps waiting or merely taking in the day, adding a casual bystander's presence to the mix. The earth tones and subtle integration of structural elements like the rustic stall roof and wooden barrels suggest a scene deeply intertwined with the earthy, raw textures of daily Moroccan life.
