The direct contact of Europeans with the culture, arts and crafts of the Orient and the Islamic nations was limited until the middle of the 19^th century and insufficient knowledge was available about the existence of these works.
There was uncertainty about the distinction between the works of art from different oriental countries, their characteristics, their epoch, as well as their production methods, performance and quality.
It was only from the second half of the 19^th century that international exhibitions and the merging of industries and works of art from different orient country, as well as their cultural characteristics and depths, became possible in the west Differentiate structures.
Direct contact with these works not only contributed to the fact that European elites became acquainted with Oriental art, but also aroused the interest and desire of European artists to examine the characteristics of Islamic art, to copy its patterns, ornaments and shapes, to approach their artistic methods and to be influenced and inspired by them. The research question of this essay is: 1why European countries organized international exhibitions on industry, culture and art from the middle of the 19^th century?
2 How were European artists influenced by oriental art when they visited these exhibitions? 3 What conceptual and fundamental changes has it brought about for European artists?
The essay's hypothesis suggests that while European countries, in line with the possibilities of their post-colonial policies, organized these exhibitions to gain knowledge of the countries' cultural and industrial capabilities, artists in their direct confrontation with Islamic and Oriental art, were influenced by it in their style and performance of their works, so that it led to a change in their artistic attitude. The research methodology of this essay is a qualitative historical analysis of the data obtained by collecting library documentary material, citing the priorities and supporting the hypothesis.
