The painting depicts a dramatized version of Napoleon Bonaparte's entry into Cairo in 1798 during the French campaign in Egypt. This event was a pivotal moment in the campaign, aiming to weaken British access to British India but also marked by the ambition to spread the ideals of the French Revolution and to establish scientific and cultural enterprises in Egypt. Gérôme's portrayal is not just a historical recount but a vivid tableau that romanticizes and dramatizes the encounter between the French troops and the Egyptian people.

In "Napoleon Entrant Au Caire," Gérôme showcases his skill in rendering intricate details and his ability to capture the essence of the moment. The composition is rich with historical and cultural references, including the architecture of Cairo, the diverse attire of its inhabitants, and the military regalia of Napoleon and his army. The painting stands out for its dynamic arrangement of figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the theatrical quality of the scene.
