"Portrait de Jeune Maure" is a painting by the 19th-century Belgian artist Cesare Felix Georges dell'Acqua, who was known for his historical and orientalist works. Born in 1821 in Piran, which was then part of the Austrian Empire and is now in Slovenia, dell'Acqua later moved to Belgium where he became part of the artistic community in Brussels. The painting's title translates to "Portrait of a Young Moor" and is indicative of the orientalist themes that were popular among European artists during the 19th century.

The painting is a fine example of Orientalism in art, a movement in which Western artists depicted their imagined concepts of the East, often characterized by exoticism and romanticism. "Portrait de Jeune Maure" reflects the fascination with North African cultures that was prevalent among European artists and audiences at the time. The subject of the painting is a young man of North African descent, referred to as a "Moor," a term historically used by Europeans to describe Muslims of the Maghreb, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages.

Dell'Acqua's work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a rich, vibrant use of color, both of which are evident in this portrait. The young man is typically depicted with an idealized appearance, wearing elaborate clothing and accessories that signify his cultural background. The portrait may have been intended to convey a sense of the exotic and to satisfy the contemporary European curiosity about distant cultures.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, and little is known about the circumstances of its commission or its provenance. The painting's current location is also not publicly recorded, which may limit the availability of scholarly analysis and critique. Due to the lack of extensive information on "Portrait de Jeune Maure," the painting remains a lesser-known work within dell'Acqua's oeuvre, which may not have been as widely studied or exhibited as the works of his contemporaries.

Despite the scarcity of information, "Portrait de Jeune Maure" remains an example of Cesare Felix dell'Acqua's artistic legacy and contributes to the understanding of orientalist art in the context of 19th-century European painting. It serves as a cultural artifact reflecting the period's attitudes and perceptions of the "Orient," as well as the broader narrative of colonialism and its impact on the arts.
