Abstract EN

Egypt’s geographical location enabled it to play an important role in formulating regional and international policies in periods of war and peace.

the Nile River has been considered since ancient times the main reason for the formation of the Egyptian civilization in it, for its contribution to fertilizing the soil, making it suitable for cultivation, and investing that in trade, which documented the Egyptian civilization, they built the pyramids, and raised the economic level of the region since then, so the necessity of preserving the Nile River from pollution arose.

the Nile River is, without exaggeration, the lifeblood of Egypt and the Egyptians، in their paintings, the orientalists dealt with the most beautiful subjects and scenes of the Nile, which won admiration and even dazzled the orientalists with the sweetness of its water, the charm of its calmness, and the status it occupies in the hearts of the Egyptians.

when the water reaches the pyramids what most distinguished the period of orientalism was the cultural openness through drawing and paintings, as the painter carried more than one role and task.
