More about this artwork

"Interior of the Mosque of the Sultan El Ghoree" by David Roberts is a captivating 19th-century painting that invites viewers to step into the serene and spiritual world of Masjid al-Ghuri in Cairo, Egypt. Roberts, known for his detailed and historically accurate representations, painted this artwork between 1846 and 1849, capturing not only the architectural brilliance but also the ambient tranquility of this sacred space.The painting exquisitely portrays the grandiose interior of the mosque, characterizing the hallmark of Islamic architecture with its ornate geometric patterns and Arabic calligraphy embedded on high walls and archways. The rays of light filtering through the upper windows illuminate the intricate detail of the stonework and reveal the mosque’s spiritual ambiance.Adding life to the serene architectural depiction, Roberts includes various figures, dressed in vibrant traditional attire, scattered across the mosque’s floor. These individuals, some engaged in prayer, others in conversation, bring a human element to the scene, reflecting the mosque's role as a place of communal gathering and spiritual reflection.This artwork by David Roberts is not only a visual journey into a past era but also a celebration of cultural heritage, architectural grandeur, and the daily lives of the people connected with this historical monument.

David Roberts (24 October 1796 – 25 November 1864) was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia, a prolific series of detailed lithograph prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced from sketches he made during long tours of the region (1838–1840). These and his large oil paintings of similar subjects made him a prominent Orientalist painter. He was elected as a Royal Academician in 1841.
