Catalogue de l'exposition Delacroix et l'azube de l'orientalisme, présentée au Jeu de paume du domaine de Chantilly, du 30 septembre au 7 janvier 2013. L'histoire de l'art fixe traditionnellement l'origine de l'orientalisme en 1798 avec la campagne d'Egypte de Bonaparte (1798-1801). Jusque-là, la source d'inspiration privilégiée des artistes était l'Antiquité et l'incontournable voyage d'Italie. Les véritables débuts de l'orientalisme coïncident avec la période romantique, marquée par la guerre d'indépendance grecque qui confronte artistes, écrivains et intellectuels à l'image d'un pays d'une brûlante actualité, très différente de la référence habituelle à l'Antiquité. Le propos de cet ouvrage est de s'intéresser aux débuts de l'orientalisme, sans dépasser le milieu des années 1850, d'explorer la naissance de ce mouvement et de mieux étudier ces premiers artistes qui portèrent leur regard au-delà de l'Europe.
