About: Blackamoor art is a trope in Italian decorative art, especially common in pieces of furniture, but also appearing in paintings, jewelry, and textiles. The motif emerged as an artistic response to the European encounter with the Moors—dark-skinned Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East who occupied various parts of Europe during the Middle Ages. Commonly fixed in positions of servitude—as footmen or waiters, for example—the figures personify fantasies of racial conquest. Blackamoor furnishings exist in the long tradition of exoticization of black bodies, still reproduced today in many parts of the world today.
