About Hassan el Glaoui

Hassan El Glaoui (1924–2018) was a Moroccan figurative painter born in Marrakech, best known for his vivid depictions of fantasia horsemen and the ceremonial equestrian traditions of Morocco. The son of Pasha Thami El Glaoui, one of Morocco's most powerful historical figures, Hassan pursued art against the odds of his family's political prominence — reportedly encouraged by Winston Churchill, who advised his father to support the young artist's vocation. El Glaoui trained at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris and developed a distinctive figurative style that stood apart from the modernist currents of his generation. His work centers on the bond between horse and rider, capturing a way of life rooted in Moroccan ceremony and rural tradition. Beyond equestrian subjects, he also painted portraits and still lifes throughout a career spanning more than six decades. He died in Rabat in 2018 at the age of 93.

Common works and media

El Glaoui worked primarily in oil on canvas. His most recognized works depict fantasia ceremonial horsemen — often groups of armed riders in dynamic motion — and individual equestrian subjects. He also produced portraits, still lifes, and figurative scenes of Moroccan life. Paintings range from small cabinet-sized works to large-scale canvases. Works on paper and drawings are less common at auction but do appear. Collectors encountering El Glaoui works will most frequently find unsigned or indistinctly signed oils of horsemen; professional authentication is recommended when provenance is unclear.

Market and appraisal context

Hassan El Glaoui's work appears regularly in international auction sales, with over 200 recorded lots. His equestrian and fantasia scenes are the most widely traded and typically the most valued category. Collectors should consider subject matter, scale, provenance, condition, and whether a work can be firmly attributed to the artist, as no public catalogue raisonné is available. Works with documented exhibition history or estate provenance tend to perform more strongly at auction. His paintings are sold under Modern North African Art, Post-War Moroccan, and Middle Eastern art sale categories at major houses including Sotheby's.
