"Prayer in the Mosque of Caid Bey, in Cairo" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, completed in 1865. This work is an example of Orientalism, a genre that Gérôme and many of his contemporaries were known for, which depicted the Eastern world from a Western perspective. The painting is a meticulous representation of Islamic religious practice, capturing a moment of prayer within the Mosque of Caid Bey in Cairo, Egypt.

In the painting, Gérôme showcases his skill in architectural rendering and his attention to detail. The artwork features a group of men in traditional attire engaged in Salah, the Islamic prayer, within the grand and ornately decorated interior of the mosque. The use of light and shadow plays a significant role in the composition, highlighting the intricate patterns and textures of the mosque's interior and creating a sense of solemnity and reverence.

Gérôme's work is often characterized by a blend of academic art techniques and a fascination with ethnographic accuracy, though his portrayal of Eastern subjects is also critiqued for exoticism and constructing a Western-centric narrative about Eastern cultures. "Prayer in the Mosque of Caid Bey, in Cairo" is no exception, as it reflects the artist's interest in the visual splendor of the East and the daily life of its people, while also potentially reinforcing stereotypes and the exotic otherness of the subjects depicted.

This painting is part of a larger body of Gérôme's work that contributed to the romanticized Western view of the Middle East during the 19th century. It remains an important piece for studying both the artistic techniques of the period and the cultural implications of Orientalist art. The painting is held in a private collection, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the intersection of art, culture, and colonialism.
