Painting Description
"The Castle At The Entrance To The New Harbour Of Alexandria Bearings.e. 65., Near The Castle To The Left Is The Ancient Obelisk Known by The Name Of Cleopatra's Needle, On The Right Is A Distant View of Pompey's Pillar - Taken On Board The" is a work by Rev. Cooper Willyams, an English clergyman, artist, and author known for his detailed and evocative landscape paintings and illustrations. Willyams, who lived from 1762 to 1816, was a prolific traveler and chronicler of his journeys, often capturing the essence of the places he visited through his art and writings.
This particular work is a detailed illustration that captures a panoramic view of the entrance to the new harbor of Alexandria, Egypt. The scene is notable for its inclusion of several significant historical landmarks. To the left of the castle depicted in the illustration is the ancient obelisk commonly referred to as Cleopatra's Needle. This obelisk, originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis, was later transported to Alexandria by the Romans. On the right side of the illustration, one can observe a distant view of Pompey's Pillar, a Roman triumphal column that stands as one of the largest ancient monoliths and a prominent symbol of Alexandria's rich historical tapestry.
Willyams' work is not merely an artistic endeavor but also serves as a historical document, providing insights into the architectural and cultural heritage of Alexandria during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His meticulous attention to detail and composition allows viewers to appreciate the grandeur and historical significance of these ancient structures within their geographical context.
The illustration was likely created during one of Willyams' travels, possibly while he was aboard a ship, as suggested by the title. His ability to capture such detailed and expansive views from a maritime perspective underscores his skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting his experiences. This work is a testament to Willyams' contribution to the visual and historical documentation of significant landmarks and serves as an invaluable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike.
