“I am truly sorry for the artists gifted with imagination who can never have any idea of this virgin sublime nature...I can only look forward with sadness to the
moment when I shall leave forever the land of beautiful orange trees covered with flowers and fruit, of the beautiful sun, of the beautiful eyes and of a thousand other beauties.”– EUGÈNE DELACROIX (written during his voyage to North Africa in 1832)
