"Blackamoor art" refers to a form of European decorative art that has its origins within the early modern period of the 1400s and 1500s. These pieces of art depict people of African descent and range from paintings, to statues, and brooches. Though this art form was prevalent from the 16th to the 19th century they have since been viewed as racist depictions of Black people considering the socioeconomic disparity between Europe and Africa at the time.

A vocal critic of blackamoor art of Varsity describes these pieces as "a palatable form of exoticism for [white European art owners], mimicking the theatrically dressed black servants and slaves that were a part of European noble houses."

Art historian Adrienne L. Childs describes the use blackamoor art as having "exploited servitude as ornamentation."

Yet despite the heavy criticism surrounding blackamoor art, they still had their place in British Royal fashion in 2017.
