About the Item

Islamic Cityscape Print Great Mosque of Damascus, 1863 Dutch Lithograph This richly detailed lithograph titled “De Groote Moskee te Damascus” (The Great Mosque in Damascus) presents a sweeping 19th-century view of one of the oldest and most architecturally significant mosques in the Islamic world: the Umayyad Mosque. Also known as the Grand Mosque of Damascus, it stands as a symbol of early Islamic architectural innovation and is built upon the foundations of a Roman temple and a Christian basilica, reflecting centuries of layered history. The composition looks across the rooftops of the ancient Syrian city, capturing the mosque's imposing central dome, flanked by its famous minarets. The three minarets depicted—the Minaret of the Bride, the Minaret of Jesus, and the Minaret of Qaitbay—are defining features of the mosque and distinguish it as a monument of deep historical and religious resonance. Beyond the mosque, the artist captures the expanse of the surrounding cityscape and the soft, rolling hills that form the backdrop. This lithograph was issued in 1863 as part of *De Voornaamste Godsdiensten* (The Principal Religions), specifically in the volume *Het Islamisme*, authored by Dr. Reinhart Pieter Anne Dozy. Dozy was a pioneering Dutch Orientalist and professor at the University of Leiden, whose academic work introduced European audiences to the complexities and achievements of Islamic civilizations. His inclusion of the Umayyad Mosque underscores its cultural and theological importance in the history of Islam. Printed by the reputable lithographic firm Emrik & Binger of Haarlem, this work displays their hallmark clarity and tonal control. The meticulous rendering of domes, stone facades, and urban textures invites the viewer into a moment of quiet observation over a city that has long been a center of religious and political life. This print is a historically rich visual record, offering a 19th-century European lens onto one of Islam’s most enduring architectural treasures, making it an ideal collector’s piece for enthusiasts of religious history, Islamic art, and Orientalist studies. Condition Summary: Very good condition with light foxing in the margin. Tips for Framing: For framing, use a warm ivory or light sand-colored mat with a classic dark wood or charcoal frame to enhance the architectural detail and dignified atmosphere of this historic cityscape.
