"Street Mouizz-Dinn in Cairo, Kalaoun Mosque in the Background" (French: La rue Mouizz-Dinn au Caire, avec la mosquée Kalaoun à l'arrière-plan) is a 19th-century painting by Russian artist Nikolai Egorovich Makovsky (1842–1886). Known for his historical and genre paintings, Makovsky was part of the Russian Realist movement and often depicted scenes of everyday life, as well as orientalist themes which were popular among European artists during that period.

This particular work captures a vibrant street scene along one of Cairo's most famous historical streets, Al-Muizz li-Din Allah Street, commonly known as Al-Muizz Street. The painting is notable for its detailed representation of the architectural and cultural milieu of Cairo during the time. In the background, the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan al-Mansur Qalawun, an architectural marvel and a significant Islamic monument, is prominently featured. The mosque is part of the Qalawun complex which is known for its Mamluk architecture and is considered one of the greatest architectural treasures of medieval Cairo.

Makovsky's painting is characterized by its rich color palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which brings out the textures of the urban landscape and the liveliness of the street life. The artist's attention to detail not only in the architectural elements but also in the depiction of the people suggests a fascination with the exotic and the daily life of the locale he is portraying.

"Street Mouizz-Dinn in Cairo, Kalaoun Mosque in the Background" is a significant work within Makovsky's oeuvre, as it reflects the 19th-century European artistic interest in Orientalism and provides a historical snapshot of Cairo's urban culture. It is a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its cultural representation of a bygone era. The painting is an example of how Western artists of the time interpreted and depicted Eastern scenes, contributing to the broader understanding of cross-cultural interactions in art history.
