Mahmoud Mokhtar

Mahmoud Mukhtar´s Egypt´s Renaissance 1919-1928, Cairo University Gate

(May 10, 1891 - March 28, 1934) was an Egyptian sculptor. Despite his early death, his impact on modern and contemporary Egyptian art has been colossal. He is considered the father of modern Egyptian sculpture

History

Born in the Nile Delta in a small village called Douar skouila, in the region of Mahalla al-Kubra, in the village of Tanbara, where his father was the mayor (´Omda). Mukhtar moved to Cairo as a child with his mother, and in 1908 joined the newly founded Egyptian School of Fine Arts. In 1911, he was granted a scholarship to study art in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts.

Works

In France, he befriended members of the Wafd Party and was inspired to create the prototype of his famous statue, Nahdit Misr aka "Egypt´s Renaissance," which was initially unveiled in Ramses Square in 1928 and now stands opposite the Cairo University Bridge.

Winning many honours and awards in Paris and Cairo, Mokhtar also became famous for his two monumental statues of Saad Zaghlul (one in Alexandria, the other in Cairo). Some of his other well-known sculptures include "The Secret Keeper," "Isis," "The Nile´s Bride" and "Khamaseen."

Museum

The Mukhtar Museum in Cairo houses Mahmoud Mokhtar´s works in various media.
