Résumé
La jaquette indique : 'A broad view of the West's complex relationship with the Middle East and North Africa, told through a selection of exquisite art objects. The West has long had a fascination with the art and culture of the 'Orient'. Covering a period from the late fifteenth century to the present day ''Inspired by the East'' sheds light on the complex cultural exchange between these civilisations, which has generated a profusion of beautiful objects, perhaps most famously the Orientalist painting and decorative arts of the nineteenth century.
