This “Moroccan Fantasia” Oil Canvas measures 39” x 46” and was painted by an unknown artist in Morocco. The style of this painting, in which Arabs on horses rode around with weapons, is called “Fantasia.” The representation in this “Moroccan Fantasia” Oil Canvas is a typical depiction of the Arabs’ past.  The swirling technique the artist employs adds urgency and frantic movement to this oil painting, bringing its scene to vivid life.

The oldest phase of Arab history is known as the Age of Ignorance and High Literature. Spanning the years 750 B.C. through 634 A.D., this age was a period of tribal Arab nationalism. During this time, the sacred foundation of the tribe defined the national spirit. 

The focus of the Age of Ignorance and High Literature is grounded on origin and kinship as well as honor and dignity. It’s not surprising then that tribal knights lay their lives on the line for their country, fighting to their deaths on Arabian horses and wielding Yamani swords. Such a scene is recreated in this oil painting.

Display your oil canvas in a dimly lit area to avoid damage caused by direct light. Normal room temperatures with a low humidity level are the best environment in which to hang and store your oil paintings. Dirt is your oil canvas’s foe so keep your painting away from smoking areas, candles and fireplaces. If your oil canvas requires cleaning, a soft brush can be used to remove surface dirt from its painting and frame.
