"View of the South of the Necropolis in Cairo with the Citadel in the Background" (French: "Vue de la partie sud de la necropole du Caire, avec la citadelle à l'arrière-plan") is a 19th-century painting by French artist Prosper-Georges-Antoine Marilhat. Known for his Orientalist works, Marilhat was inspired by his travels in the Middle East, particularly Egypt, which had a profound impact on his artistic style and subject matter.

This painting captures a scene of the southern part of the Cairo Necropolis, also known as the City of the Dead, a vast Islamic cemetery and habitation area that has been in use since the 7th century. In the background, the Citadel of Cairo, a historic Islamic fortification and one of the city's most notable landmarks, looms over the scene. Marilhat's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural and atmospheric detail, reflecting the artist's fascination with the landscapes and urban environments of Egypt.

The composition of the painting is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye from the intricate details of the tombs and mausoleums in the foreground, through the bustling activity of the living among the dead, towards the majestic silhouette of the Citadel against the sky. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the use of warm, earthy tones, evokes the intense sunlight and the arid climate of Cairo.

"View of the South of the Necropolis in Cairo with the Citadel in the Background" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value. It offers a glimpse into the 19th-century European perspective of the Middle East and contributes to the broader genre of Orientalist art, which has been both celebrated for its beauty and critiqued for its representation of Eastern societies.

As an important work in Marilhat's oeuvre, this painting is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike. It is often cited as an example of the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the landscapes and urban life he encountered during his travels, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in European art.
