Sirocco, Tetuan
support: 305 × 356 mm
Presented by Cecil French in memory of the artist 1940
<div class="text">
<p>Artists and other tourists were attracted to the Moroccan port city of Tangier, especially the ‘medina’ or older part, which was a centre of many local crafts. Henry Bishop began painting in Cornwall and Brittany, but his style was transformed by his experience of the light and landscape of North Africa.</p>
