'Landscape in North-Africa', a painting by Isidorus van Mens

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Isidorus (Isidore, Is.) van Mens: 'Landscape in North Africa'. Signed and dated 1926 lower right. Size: 48x59 cm. The painting depicts the fortified village of Melika in Algeria with its light mud walls and citadel on a hill in the distance under a high turquoise sky. At the foot of the city the ocre of the Sahara desert is interrupted by two small green oases. Two persons seen from the back lead two loaded donkeys through the heavy shadows of rocks and palm groves towards the village. Today the village and citadel of Melika are part of the Unesco World heritage of the M'Zab Valley, consisting of five citadels created in the 10th century by the Ibadites around their five ksour (fortified cities): El-Atteuf, Bounoura, Melika, Ghardaïa and Beni-Isguen.
