"Street Scene Tangier" is a watercolor painting by the Scottish artist Arthur Melville (1855–1904), known for his innovative and atmospheric use of the medium. Created during Melville's travels to North Africa, the painting captures the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of a Tangier street, reflecting the artist's fascination with exotic locations and his skill in rendering light and color.

The painting is characterized by its loose brushwork and the use of a wet-in-wet technique, which allows colors to blend on the paper, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. Melville's portrayal of Tangier is not just a literal depiction of the city's architecture and inhabitants; it also conveys the heat, light, and cultural richness of the Moroccan environment. The artist's use of bright, saturated colors alongside deep shadows demonstrates his mastery of watercolor and his ability to evoke a strong sense of place.

Arthur Melville's travels in the 1880s and 1890s had a significant impact on his work, leading to a series of paintings that showcased his experiences in the Middle East and North Africa. "Street Scene Tangier" is a prime example of his travel-inspired art and is often noted for its impressionistic qualities, predating the widespread adoption of Impressionism in Britain.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical prowess and its role in the development of British watercolor painting at the end of the 19th century. It is considered an important work within Melville's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's adventurous spirit and his contribution to the Orientalist movement in European art. "Street Scene Tangier" remains a testament to Melville's status as one of Scotland's most innovative and internationally influential watercolorists of his time.
