EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Cairo in 1839. Painted by the talented Scottish artist and orientalist, David Roberts, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of a vibrant city steeped in history and culture. In this particular scene, we are transported to the Gate of the Metwalys, also known as Metawalea of Bab Zuweyleh. The intricate architecture stands tall against a clear blue sky, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship that adorned Egyptian structures during this era. The street comes alive with activity as traders set up their stalls along the bustling thoroughfare. A camel patiently waits nearby, ready to transport goods through these ancient streets. It is a snapshot into a thriving trade hub where merchants from all corners of Egypt converge to exchange wares and stories. David Roberts's attention to detail shines through his brushstrokes, capturing not only architectural marvels but also everyday life in Cairo. The houses lining the street reflect both British influence and traditional Egyptian design elements. This print serves as a window into history—a testament to Roberts's skill as an artist and his ability to transport viewers across time and space. It is an invitation for us to explore Cairo's rich past while appreciating its enduring beauty.
