A jewish wedding in tangier, or jewish festival in tangier - the jewish festival, very noticed at the salon of 1870, can be considered one of the painter's masterpieces. Made from sketches taken of the motif during the artist's frequent moroccan stays, the canvas suffers from numerous comparisons with the work of delacroix exhibited at the louvre. However, if the latter was especially attached, by his own admission, to lighting effects, dehodencq worked as a witness and sought to get closer to a certain social and cultural truth, avoiding the pitfalls of a more fantasized orientalism, already very fashionable at the time. Date: between 1849 and 1870.
