Submitted Assignment from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English – Miscellaneous, grade: 95.0, Westminster College, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this essay is to provide a visual analysis of Jean-Léon Gérôme’s 1879 oil-painting: ‘A Muezzin Calling From The Top Of A Minaret The Faithful To Prayer’ sometimes referred to simply as ‘The Muezzin’s Call to Prayer’. For the sake of time and space, this essay will be using the latter title. It is an example of Orientalism (part of the Realism movement) and is currently located in a private collection. Little information about where the painting was created can be ascertained—he was, however, known to have made many trips to Egypt during his lifetime, so it was likely that it was on one of these such trips that he created the painting.
