Original Description
Edgar John Varley's "Street Of The Grand Mosque, Tetuan, Morocco" is a captivating Orientalist watercolor that transports viewers to the vibrant heart of North Africa. Painted circa 1906-1912 during Britain's fascination with exotic locations, this atmospheric work masterfully depicts the play of light and shadow filtering through Tetuan's whitewashed alleyways toward the iconic Grand Mosque. Varley, as a member of the esteemed Varley artistic dynasty, employs loose yet precise brushwork echoing the English watercolor tradition while embracing the spontaneity of plein air painting. The composition draws the eye through winding streets with warm terracotta tones contrasting against cool blue accents, capturing Morocco's distinctive luminosity. Historically significant, this piece represents Britain's early 20th-century artistic engagement with Morocco before French colonial dominance reshaped Western perceptions of Maghrebi culture.
For interior decoration, choose prominent wall spaces like above a sofa or in an entryway where the artwork's narrative depth can be appreciated. The ideal room would feature Mediterranean-inspired elements—terra cotta pots, wrought iron details, or Berber textiles—to harmonize with Varley's palette. Consider pairing it with contemporary neutral furnishings to let the painting's warm ochers and umbers dominate, or create an eclectic gallery wall mixing it with black-and-white travel photographs for cultural continuity. A medium-to-large frame (approximately 24×36 inches) balances visibility without overwhelming smaller spaces. In offices, position it where natural light echoes the painting's luminosity, perhaps adjacent to greenery for a cohesive organic feel. The artwork's vertical format suits narrow walls beside bookcases or behind desks, where its atmospheric perspective adds visual depth to compact work environments.
