About this piece
The souks are roofed with lath and the light comes through in bars that move across the goods all day. Every European painter who came here painted that effect and it is the one thing in those canvases nobody had to invent — you can stand under it this afternoon and it will be doing the same thing.
Slatted light, saffron, deep shade
Public domain
The painters this manner comes from died more than seventy years ago, so their work belongs to everybody now. This is our painting, made in their manner, not a copy of any canvas of theirs.
