Leighton Frederick – English artist of the academic direction of Victorian painting. His paintings are close to the salon art and creativity of the Pre-Raphaelites. Pictures Leighton written mainly on ancient and historical subjects, taken from literature.
Often on his canvases depicted naked women. His paintings have a touch of sentimentality, which brought the artist great popularity. The artist often traveled around the countries of the East and loved oriental exoticism, the beauty of oriental women, interiors that were unusual for England, which in his paintings turned into theatrical scenery. The Jewish Quarter of Old Damascus is an image of the architecture of an eastern city, along the streets of which people walk.
A man with a long stick knocks a lemon from a tree, and a girl next to her spread her dress to catch it. A woman in a beautiful oriental robe is watching them. The beautiful architecture of Damascus is transmitted in all its glory. Majestic columns, decorated with symmetric ornate patterns, rush up. The vertical format of the canvas only emphasizes the significance of these structures. The warm color of the picture conveys the state of a windless hot sunny day. The picture is realistic, harmonious in color and composition.
