It belongs in a room that earns its quiet: a reading room or study with warm natural light, a hallway long enough to invite a pause, or a living space where collected objects reward looking. It speaks to the traveller and the contemplative in equal measure — to anyone drawn to the idea that a single street corner, rendered with enough attention and enough honesty, can hold the weight of time. The layered surface rewards proximity; stand close and the paint itself becomes part of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Henry Ossawa Tanner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew American painters handled light the way this one did - that cool, almost lunar blue-green glow that turns biblical scenes into something quietly mystical rather than theatrical. Trained under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy in the 1880s, he left the United States for Paris in 1891, where the Salon embraced him and France eventually made him a chevalier of the Legion of Honor. He was the first African American artist to gain serious international standing, and he did it on his own terms, painting religious subjects and North African scenes with a contemplative restraint. His canvases reward slow looking - genuinely meditative work for a noisy century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Henry Ossawa Tanner","offers":[{"title":"24\" x 18\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41549656588375,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x18_-StretchedCanvas","price":89.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 18\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41549656621143,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x18_-FineArtPaper","price":58.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 18\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41549656653911,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x18_-AntiquaFrame","price":112.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 18\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41549656686679,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x18_-HickoryFrame","price":112.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24\" x 18\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":41549656719447,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_24x18_-RavenFrame","price":112.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 24\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41549656784983,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x24_-StretchedCanvas","price":150.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 24\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41549656817751,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x24_-FineArtPaper","price":89.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 24\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41549656850519,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x24_-AntiquaFrame","price":188.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 24\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41549656883287,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x24_-HickoryFrame","price":188.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\" x 36\" \/ Stretched Canvas","offer_id":41549656916055,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_48x36_-StretchedCanvas","price":301.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\" x 36\" \/ Fine Art Paper","offer_id":41549656948823,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_48x36_-FineArtPaper","price":150.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\" x 36\" \/ Antiqua Frame","offer_id":41549656981591,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_48x36_-AntiquaFrame","price":377.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\" x 36\" \/ Hickory Frame","offer_id":41549657014359,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_48x36_-HickoryFrame","price":377.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"36\" x 24\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":43297690779735,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_36x24_-RavenFrame","price":188.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"48\" x 36\" \/ Raven Frame","offer_id":43297690812503,"sku":"street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner-_48x36_-RavenFrame","price":377.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2536\/4678\/products\/fine-art-print-street-scene-tangiers-by-henry-ossawa-tanner-1171188106.jpg?v=1749765617","url":"https:\/\/trulyart.com\/en-gb\/products\/street-scene-tangiers-henry-ossawa-tanner","provider":"Truly Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
