"Orientaux" refers to a theme rather than a specific work by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863), who is renowned for his richly colored and dramatic interpretations of historical and contemporary events as well as literary subjects. Delacroix's fascination with the "Orient" – a term used in the 19th century to describe the Middle East and North Africa – was a significant aspect of his oeuvre, reflecting a broader European interest in Orientalism during that period.

Delacroix's exposure to the cultures of North Africa, particularly during his voyage to Morocco in 1832, profoundly influenced his artistic direction. This journey provided him with a wealth of visual inspiration and led to the creation of numerous paintings, drawings, and lithographs that depict the people, costumes, architecture, and landscapes of the region. His Orientalist works are characterized by their vibrant color palette, dynamic compositions, and a sense of exoticism that appealed to European sensibilities of the time.

Among Delacroix's most famous Orientalist works are "Women of Algiers in their Apartment" (1834), "The Sultan of Morocco and his Entourage" (1845), and "Arab Horses Fighting in a Stable" (1860). These paintings, along with others, showcase Delacroix's skill in rendering the textures and patterns of fabrics, the play of light and shadow, and the nuanced expressions of his subjects. They also reflect his interest in capturing the perceived authenticity of the scenes he witnessed, which stood in contrast to the more imaginative and fantastical interpretations of the Orient by some of his contemporaries.

Delacroix's Orientalist works have been both praised for their artistic merit and critiqued for their role in perpetuating colonialist perspectives. They continue to be studied for their complex interplay of aesthetics, politics, and cultural representation, and they remain an integral part of the discourse on 19th-century European art and its engagement with the non-Western world.

As an artist who left a lasting impact on the development of modern art, Delacroix's Orientalist works played a key role in shaping the visual language of Romanticism and influencing later generations of artists, including the Impressionists and the Symbolists. His depictions of the Orient remain a testament to his enduring fascination with a world that was, to him and his European audience, both alluring and remote.
