About the piece

Painted in 1839 following Delacroix's journey to North Africa, this masterpiece depicts a Jewish wedding in Tangier. The composition uses the stark white walls of the courtyard to frame a rich assembly of figures in traditional dress, reflecting the artist's Romantic fascination with the light, color, and customs of Morocco.
