- Artist
- Henry Ossawa Tanner, born Pittsburgh, PA 1859-died Paris, France 1937
- Luce Center Label
- Henry Ossawa Tanner probably painted this scene in his Paris studio from postcards or photographs of Tangier, which he visited two years later. By 1910, Tanner had established himself as a religious painter and used his trips to North Africa and the Middle East for inspiration. This street scene refers to the passage in the Bible in which a man is told to go into the village and retrieve a donkey that will carry Christ into Jerusalem.
