Painting Description
"View of the Tomb of the Family of Mohammed Ali Pacha, in the Cemetery of the Imam" is an illustration from the 19th-century architectural portfolio "Monuments and Buildings of Cairo" by the French architect Pascal Xavier Coste. This work is part of a larger collection that documents the historic architecture of Cairo, Egypt, during a period when Western interest in Orientalism and Egyptian antiquities was on the rise. The illustration captures the intricate details and architectural significance of the tomb belonging to the family of Mohammed Ali Pacha, who is often considered the founder of modern Egypt.
Pascal Xavier Coste (1787–1879) was an esteemed architect and illustrator who traveled extensively in the Middle East. His journey to Egypt, which took place in the early 19th century, resulted in a comprehensive visual record of Egyptian architectural heritage. "Monuments and Buildings of Cairo" stands as a testament to Coste's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to preserving the architectural history of the region through his drawings.
The tomb depicted in the illustration is a significant example of the Ottoman influence on Egyptian funerary architecture during the reign of Mohammed Ali Pacha. The Pacha's reign marked a transformative period in Egyptian history, with numerous reforms and modernization efforts that had a lasting impact on the country's social and architectural landscape. The illustration not only serves as an artistic representation but also as an important historical document, providing insight into the funerary practices and architectural styles of the time.
Coste's work, including "View of the Tomb of the Family of Mohammed Ali Pacha, in the Cemetery of the Imam," is valued by historians, architects, and art historians for its accuracy and the window it offers into a Cairo that has since undergone significant changes. The portfolio remains a crucial resource for those studying the evolution of Islamic architecture and the cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East during the 19th century.
