The canal was originally dug in the 1860s to provide fresh water to Port Said to facilitate the Suez Canal\u2019s construction. It connects the Nile and a pre-existing series of canals to Lake Timsah, running nearly one hundred twenty miles between Zagazig and Ismailia. Fr\u00e8re shows the canal with the minarets and towers of Cairo in the background, standing out against the setting sun. These sorts of scenes are some of the artist\u2019s most iconic works, with the bright colors of the sun low in the sky rendered in a dazzling, painterly manner.
