An Armenian Artist in Ottoman Egypt: Yuhanna Al-Armani and His Coptic Icons
Magdi Guirguis
Yuhanna al-Armani has been known by historians of Coptic art as an eighteenth-century Armenian icon painter who lived and worked in Ottoman Cairo. This work gives an account of his life that looks beyond his artistic production to place him firmly in the social, political, and economic milieu in which he moved and flourished as a painter.
