This prestigious award, presented by the Cultural Affairs Department of Sharjah, highlights the vital role of art criticism in understanding cultural interactions.
Now in its 15th edition, the prize this year focuses on the theme "The Arab World in Artistic Orientalism." The second-place award went to Egyptian researcher Atef Saâd for his study on the "Aesthetic and Artistic Vision of Orientalist Painters of Equestrian Scenes in 19th Century Egypt."
