60. Porte Kennesrîne, à Alep 1843

"60. Porte Kennesrîne, à Alep" is an 1843 lithograph by French architect Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (1804–1892). It depicts the Kennesrine Gate in Aleppo, Syria, a city that was a major center of trade on the Silk Road, and offers a detailed architectural study of the gate. The lithograph includes multiple views: an exterior elevation, a perspective view, and a ground plan. The image is a record of a significant historical structure, highlighting its architectural features and historical context. This drawing, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is part of Girault de Prangey’s larger project to document the architecture of the Middle East.
