EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Entrance of the Court of the Lions, located within the majestic Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. Dating mainly from the 14th century, this architectural masterpiece is beautifully depicted with an idealized view that showcases figures dressed in exquisite Moorish costumes. The image transports us into a world where history and art intertwine seamlessly. The intricate plasterwork adorning the columns and porticoes adds a touch of grandeur to this historic courtyard. A stunning fountain stands proudly at its center, exuding elegance and serenity amidst the bustling city. As we explore every detail captured by Unknown's lens, our eyes are drawn to a peacock gracefully perched on one of the pillars nearby. Its vibrant feathers create a striking contrast against the monochromatic backdrop, symbolizing beauty and grace. Intriguingly, a figure can be seen playing an oud, a stringed instrument commonly associated with Islamic music. This inclusion highlights not only the artistic beauty but also reflects upon religious traditions prevalent during that era. Through this remarkable photograph print from 1907 by Albert F. Calvert's book "The Alhambra" we are transported across centuries to witness firsthand the splendor of Nasrid dynasty architecture and decoration. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an invaluable glimpse into Spain's rich cultural heritage
