Painting Description
"Tombs Of The Mamelukes, Cairo" is a renowned lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in the mid-19th century. David Roberts, born in 1796, was a prolific painter and lithographer known for his detailed and evocative depictions of architectural and historical sites, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. His works are celebrated for their accuracy, artistic merit, and the romanticism with which he captured the essence of the locations he visited.
The lithograph "Tombs Of The Mamelukes, Cairo" is part of Roberts' extensive collection titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia," which was published between 1842 and 1849. This collection is considered one of the most significant and comprehensive visual records of the 19th-century Middle East. Roberts' journey to the region began in 1838, and his travels took him through Egypt, where he meticulously sketched various landmarks, including the tombs of the Mamelukes in Cairo.
The Mamelukes were a military class that ruled Egypt from the 13th to the early 16th century, and their tombs are located in the City of the Dead, a vast Islamic necropolis in Cairo. Roberts' lithograph captures the grandeur and solemnity of these mausoleums, showcasing their intricate Islamic architecture and the surrounding landscape. His work provides a valuable historical record of these structures, many of which have since deteriorated or been altered.
Roberts' lithographs were produced with the assistance of lithographer Louis Haghe, whose skillful work ensured that the final prints retained the detail and atmosphere of Roberts' original sketches. "Tombs Of The Mamelukes, Cairo" stands out not only for its artistic quality but also for its contribution to the Western understanding and appreciation of Middle Eastern culture and history during the 19th century. Today, Roberts' works are held in high esteem and can be found in various museums and private collections around the world.
