"The Afterglow in Egypt" is a painting by the British artist William Holman Hunt, a prominent figure associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an artistic movement that sought to return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Created in 1854, the painting reflects Hunt's fascination with the Orient and his commitment to depicting scenes with vivid detail and symbolic meaning.

The work is notable for its meticulous attention to the effects of light and atmosphere, characteristics that are emblematic of Hunt's style and his dedication to painting en plein air, or outdoors, to capture the natural illumination of the landscape. "The Afterglow in Egypt" portrays a tranquil scene in Egypt during the time of the British artist's visit to the region. The painting captures the warm glow of the setting sun as it illuminates the landscape, imbuing the scene with a sense of peace and the sublime.

Hunt's journey to the Middle East was part of a wider Victorian fascination with the Orient, and his experiences there deeply influenced his artistic output. In "The Afterglow in Egypt," Hunt's use of light not only serves an aesthetic purpose but also carries symbolic weight, reflecting his interest in spiritual and religious themes. The painting's precise rendering of the Egyptian environment and its inhabitants also demonstrates Hunt's commitment to realism and his rejection of the idealized interpretations of Eastern scenes that were common among his contemporaries.

"The Afterglow in Egypt" is considered an important work within Hunt's oeuvre and the broader context of Orientalist art. It is a testament to the artist's skill in landscape painting and his ability to infuse his works with both a sense of place and a deeper, often moral or spiritual, significance. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the works of other artists who were inspired by Hunt's dedication to capturing the true essence of the landscapes he encountered during his travels.
