"Dome Church" Painting from King of Morocco
17 x 15 inches (framed)
Acrylic on Artist Board
Signed: "MacCarthy Mor"
Up for sale is an incredible and special oil painting entitled depicting what is believed to be a domed church in Morocco. This oil painting was painted by the "MacCarthy Mor" and is painted in a fantastic thick style heavily sculpted with the back end of his brush. The most incredible credit to this painting is the fact that is was inside the Throne Room of the Royal Palace Museum of Tangier under the patronage of Princess Lalla Fatima Zohra to mark the 61st birthday of King Hassan II from August 11th to the 22nd in 1990. It was then exhibited in the first international festival of the visual arts in Tangier from August 23rd to September 18th.
