Parisian Women in Algerian Costume (The Harem)
''Parisian Women in Algerian Costume (The Harem)'', sometimes known as ''Interior of a Harem in Montmartre (Parisian Women Dressed in Algerian costumes)'', is a painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, completed 1872, which Renoir created in homage to Eugène Delacroix's ''Women of Algiers in their Apartment'' (1834, Louvre). It was rejected for entry to the 1872 Paris Salon, disliked by the artist and eventually sold for a small sum as part of a larger lot. It is now in the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo.
==Homage to Delacroix==
In the 1870s, Renoir temporarily rejected the realism of Gustave Courbet and Eduard Manet in favour of the colour and drama of his hero Delacroix. He painted ''The Harem'' in homage to Delacroix's ''Women of Algiers in their Apartment'' (1834, Louvre)〔 which he later described as "the most beautiful picture in existence".〔Benjamin, Roger. (2003) ''Renoir and Algeria''. New Haven: Yale University Press, p. 19. ISBN 0300097859〕
The title of the picture acknowledged the artificial nature of much Orientalist painting by making it clear that these were Parisian women in costume. It may also be a humorous reference to the fact that Delacroix had been forced to paint ''Women of Algiers'' in the studio using French models after failing to obtain adequate access to women's accommodation during his trip to Algiers in 1832.〔Benjamin, 2003, pp. 23 & 29.〕
Roger Benjamin described ''The Harem'' as a "naturalist demythologization of the Orient" and in the nature of a pastiche.〔Benjamin, 2003, p. 29.〕 It was rejected for the Salon of 1872〔Bailey, Colin B. (1997) ''Renoir's Portraits: Impressions of an Age''. New Haven: Yale University Press, p. 108. ISBN 0300071337〕 which Benjamin argues resulted in the end of Renoir's experiments with Orientalism in the 1870s.〔Benjamin, 2003, pp. 32–33.〕 Although Algerian costume and culture was well known in France in the mid-nineteenth century as a result of French colonial involvement in the country, Renoir did not visit Algeria until 1881.
