"Le Katanga" is a notable painting by Fernand Allard l'Olivier (1883–1933), a Belgian artist known for his works that often depict scenes from the Belgian Congo. Created during the early 20th century, this painting is an exemplar of Allard l'Olivier's fascination with the African continent and his contribution to the genre of colonial art.

The painting captures the essence of Katanga, a region in the southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo known for its rich mineral wealth, particularly copper. "Le Katanga" reflects the period's European colonial perspective, showcasing the exoticism and perceived mystique of African landscapes and peoples through the artist's eyes. Allard l'Olivier's work is characterized by a vivid use of color and a focus on the daily life and customs of the Congolese people, which he observed during his travels in the region.

As a historical artifact, "Le Katanga" provides insight into the cultural and political milieu of the time, when European powers were deeply involved in the exploitation and administration of African territories. The painting is also significant for its artistic value, as Allard l'Olivier's technique and style contribute to the understanding of the evolution of European art influenced by colonial experiences.

"Le Katanga" is part of Fernand Allard l'Olivier's broader body of work that has been both praised for its artistic merit and critiqued for its representation of colonial themes. The painting is a subject of interest for art historians, colonial studies scholars, and those examining the intersections of art, history, and politics in the context of European colonialism in Africa.
