"The Midday Meal, Cairo" is a notable painting by the British Orientalist artist John Frederick Lewis (1804–1876). Created in 1875, this work is one of Lewis's later pieces, reflecting his meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with the daily life and culture of the Middle East. Lewis, who lived in Cairo for about ten years from 1841, was renowned for his ability to capture the ambiance and the richly textured environments of the places he visited.

The painting depicts a domestic scene inside a Cairo household during the midday meal. It is characterized by its vibrant use of color, intricate architectural details, and the portrayal of figures in a moment of everyday life. Lewis's work often showcased his subjects with a sense of dignity and tranquility, and "The Midday Meal, Cairo" is no exception. The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, with the use of perspective and light contributing to the sense of depth and realism.

John Frederick Lewis's art is significant for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in the 19th century, where Western artists depicted aspects of Eastern cultures. His works are celebrated for their ethnographic accuracy and artistic beauty, and "The Midday Meal, Cairo" exemplifies his skill in both respects. The painting is not only a visual record of a time and place but also an example of the cross-cultural encounters that were a hallmark of the era's artistic exploration.

"The Midday Meal, Cairo" is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its role in shaping Western perceptions of the East. It remains an important work for scholars studying Orientalism, 19th-century art, and the representation of non-Western cultures in European art. The painting is a testament to Lewis's legacy as one of the most accomplished Orientalist painters of his time.
