Vase Danse



Fabbio Fabbi (1861–1946) was an Italian painter who specialized in oriental paintings. I love the colours and movement in this postcard from Egypt. Here are some more, I especially like ‘The abduction in Cairo’…

Oops, this painting was in fact by his elder brother Alberto Fabbi, 1858-1906. I think that you'll agree, both brothers certainly knew how to paint.

And I love the colours in "On the roof of the Seraglio" Glorious!

Henry: Yes, he knew how to use colour.

There is also some good details in that postcard picture. For example, it seriously looks like the dancer is wearing stripperesque platform shoes. (lol)

Arwen: Thank you for visiting. I'd noticed the shoes too. I wonder how many twisted ankles resulted from them...
