Artist
James Justinian Morier
James Justinian Morier is an Orientalism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
James Morier put watercolor to paper to capture scenes from Persia in the early 1800s. He shows two armored horsemen mid-charge in Two Persian Horsemen, their curved sabers and flowing capes freezing a moment of motion. The work is a slice of life from a place and time most Europeans only read about. Tap Two Persian Horsemen to zoom in on the riders’ faces and the swirl of their cloaks.
