Painting Description
"View of the Door of Okal Kaid-Bey" is an exquisite architectural illustration created by the French architect and orientalist Pascal Xavier Coste. This work is part of his larger collection titled "Monuments and Buildings of Cairo," which was published in the mid-19th century. Coste, who was born in 1787 and passed away in 1879, is renowned for his detailed and accurate depictions of Middle Eastern architecture, which he meticulously documented during his travels.
The illustration captures the intricate design and craftsmanship of the door of Okal Kaid-Bey, a significant historical and architectural landmark in Cairo, Egypt. The door is part of a larger complex associated with Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay, a prominent Mamluk sultan who ruled Egypt from 1468 to 1496. Qaitbay is celebrated for his contributions to architecture, and his reign is often considered a golden age for Mamluk architectural achievements.
Coste's work is notable for its precision and attention to detail, reflecting his background as an architect and his deep appreciation for Islamic art and architecture. His illustrations not only serve as valuable historical records but also as artistic masterpieces that convey the grandeur and elegance of the structures he depicted. The "View of the Door of Okal Kaid-Bey" is a testament to Coste's skill in capturing the essence of Cairo's architectural heritage, showcasing the intricate geometric patterns, calligraphy, and ornamental details that characterize Mamluk design.
Pascal Xavier Coste's contributions to the documentation of Middle Eastern architecture have been widely recognized and appreciated by historians, architects, and art enthusiasts alike. His works continue to be a vital resource for understanding the architectural history of Cairo and the broader Islamic world.
