About the Item

Carl Haag 1820 - 1915 One of the Howling Dawashes in Cairo Watercolour on paper, signed lower right & dated 1880 Image Size: 10 5/8 x 7 3/4 inches (27 x 19.5 cm) Original Frame 'One of the Howling Dawashes' in Cairo is a mesmerising watercolour by Carl Haag, created in 1880. It portrays a member of the Dawash, a group of Sufi dervishes known for their passionate and ecstatic rituals. The piece vividly captures the spiritual intensity of the Dawash, depicting a figure in traditional attire, deeply absorbed in a moment of religious ecstasy. Haag’s meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of colours bring the scene to life, offering a window into the rich cultural and spiritual traditions of Cairo in the late 19th century. Carl Haag Carl Haag (1820-1915) was a distinguished artist born in Bavaria, who later became a naturalised British citizen. His artistic journey began with formal training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg and Munich, where he honed his skills in illustration and oil painting. Seeking new opportunities, Haag moved to England in 1847, where he embraced the medium of watercolour, mastering the techniques that would define his career. In England, Haag’s talent quickly gained recognition. He was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1850 and became a full member by 1853. His works are celebrated for their meticulous detail and vibrant colour, particularly his depictions of the Middle East. Inspired by his extensive travels to Cairo, Jerusalem, Lebanon, and Syria between 1858 and 1860, and again in 1873-74, Haag’s paintings offer a vivid portrayal of Eastern landscapes and cultures. His ability to capture the essence of these regions earned him a prominent place in the Orientalist art movement. Later in life, Haag returned to Germany, where he continued to create art until his death in 1915. His legacy endures through his captivating watercolours, which continue to be admired for their beauty and historical significance.
