Painting Description
"Interior of the Mosque of Sultan Hasan, Cairo" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts, featured in the third volume of his seminal work, "Egypt and Nubia." Published between 1846 and 1849, "Egypt and Nubia" is a collection of lithographs that capture the architectural grandeur and cultural richness of Egypt and the Nubian region during the 19th century. David Roberts, celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of Middle Eastern landscapes and monuments, embarked on a journey to the region in 1838, where he meticulously sketched various sites, later transforming these sketches into the lithographs that constitute his magnum opus.
The Mosque of Sultan Hasan, located in Cairo, is one of the most significant examples of Mamluk architecture. Constructed between 1356 and 1363 under the patronage of Sultan Hasan, the mosque is renowned for its monumental scale, intricate decorative elements, and innovative architectural features. Roberts' lithograph of the mosque's interior captures the essence of its vast prayer hall, the soaring arches, and the intricate stucco and marble work that adorn the walls and mihrab (prayer niche). His attention to detail and use of light and shadow convey the mosque's grandeur and the serene atmosphere within its sacred space.
Roberts' work not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as an important historical document, providing a visual record of the mosque's condition in the mid-19th century. His lithographs were widely acclaimed in Europe, contributing to the Western fascination with the Orient and influencing contemporary perceptions of Middle Eastern art and architecture. Today, "Interior of the Mosque of Sultan Hasan, Cairo" remains a valuable piece of art, reflecting both the artistic skill of David Roberts and the enduring beauty of Islamic architecture.
