Zenobia Sponsors 'Orientalist' Art Exhibit in Bihar

[from Bihar 'Orientalist' Art Exhibit Press Release]

The Bihar Sanctuary has been blessed by the support of Zenobia.

The Bihar Sanctuary's Museum has provided authentication services to Zenobia and has been greatly enriched by the experience.

Zenobia has a rich historical background, tracing back to Roman Era Syria when Queen Zenobia raised arms against the might of Rome to Saint Zenobius, the first Bishop of Florence Italy, where the Zenobian flourished through the Renaissance Era as rivals to the Medici Family until their final emigration to 34 Tauri and the planet Zenobia.

In the coffers of Zenobia were many pieces of priceless art. On loan to the Bihar Sanctuary's Gallery are over 70 pieces of the finest in 19th Century Orientalist art.

One behalf of Zenobia, the Bihar Sanctuary is proud to present:

19th Century "Orientalist" Art Exhibit.

From 1800 to 1930 several European artists (and a few notable Americans) began painting scenes in the Middle East and North Africa. This art movement was termed "Orientalist Art".

Exhibited are 70 pieces we catalogued for display. All of the pieces are in their original proportions and sized according to the resolution of the downloaded texture, with the exception of four pieces which would be larger than 10 meters.

The exhibition is free, any donations go to support the Bihar Sanctuary.

"Jawaharlal Nehru put it best when he said 'The art of a people is the true mirror to their minds.' I speak for all of Zenobia when I say that we extend our deepest thanks and warmest affection to the people of Bihar Sanctuary, for all their hard work selecting, organizing and hosting these works from private collections and bringing them to a place where they can be enjoyed by all."

Zeno Baxton, Manager of Estates, Zenobia

(OOC: Exhibit pieces also available on XStreet, but seeing them in world is a fine experience.)
