Artists find fulfillment in unexpected occurrences and significant events, transforming them into aesthetic expressions that reflect their unique creative spirit. When one artist explores a particular subject, their artistic interpretation differs from that of another artist due to the individual psychological and social influences they experience. This research aims to reveal the aesthetics of the description of nature from the city of Istanbul in the poem (That Nature) by the poet Ahmed Shawky, and the influence of his poetry on the place, the effect of the place on his poetry, and the statement of the most important dimensions of the image of Istanbul that he focused on, within his vision of the place as in his description, and its connection to the haunting issue of the poet, an explanation of the relationship between literature and place, based on the aesthetic textual study. This study analyzes the artistic images used by the poet in his poem and shows the creative poetic style in describing it. The finding shows that Ahmed Shawky's poems manifest the poet's profound longing for the multifaceted dimensions of existence, underscored by an unwavering stimulation derived from the intrinsic significance of beauty.
