"The Mosque of the Sultan Hassan, Cairo, 1839" is a renowned lithograph by the Scottish artist David Roberts, celebrated for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites in the Middle East and North Africa. This particular work captures the grandeur and intricate design of the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, one of Cairo's most significant Islamic monuments. Built between 1356 and 1363 during the Mamluk era, the mosque is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture, known for its massive scale, harmonious proportions, and elaborate decorative elements.

David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prominent painter and lithographer whose works played a crucial role in shaping Western perceptions of the Middle East during the 19th century. His journey to the region in 1838-1839 was part of a larger trend of Orientalism, where European artists and scholars sought to document and romanticize the cultures and landscapes of the "Orient." Roberts' travels took him through Egypt, the Holy Land, and other parts of the Levant, where he meticulously sketched and painted various landmarks and scenes.

"The Mosque of the Sultan Hassan, Cairo, 1839" is part of Roberts' acclaimed publication "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which was released in multiple volumes between 1842 and 1849. The lithographs were produced by Louis Haghe, a master lithographer, who translated Roberts' detailed sketches into vivid prints that captured the light, shadow, and architectural splendor of the sites.

This lithograph not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a historical document, providing insight into the 19th-century European fascination with the Middle East and the architectural heritage of Cairo. Roberts' work remains highly regarded for its artistic quality, historical value, and its role in the broader context of Orientalist art.
