Georges Hanna Sabbagh

Georges Hanna Sabbagh, born in 1887 into a prosperous Catholic family of Syro-Lebanese descent residing in Alexandria, was a prominent Egyptian artist whose profound contributions left an indelible mark on the art world. Educated at the Collège des Pères Jésuites in Cairo, Sabbagh's artistic journey began when his father, Hanna Sabbagh Bey, a stakeholder in the Heliopolis urban development project, sent him to Paris in 1906 to pursue a law degree. However, his true passion for painting emerged during this period, leading him to take painting lessons at the renowned Académie Ranson in 1910.
