Oil On Canvas, Landscape. View Of The Al-azhar Mosque In Cairo, Signed Marilhat, 19th Century.

Artist: Prosper Marilhat (1811-1847)

Oil on canvas, street scene with a view of the Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo. It is signed lower left "Marilhat," after a painter from the first half of the 19th century (Georges Antoine Prosper Marilhat 1811-1847), a very promising artist born in Auvergne who died very young when it was 36. This painting was relined and remounted on a keyed stretcher in the mid-20th century. Beautiful late afternoon light illuminates the white mosque, situated at the end of a lively alleyway with a few figures. There is a small, superficial scratch in the lower left above the signature.
