EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Side Elevation of the Court of the Lions and Fountain, a remarkable architectural feature within the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. Dating back to the 19th century, this print provides us with a glimpse into an enchanting world that mainly originated in the 14th century. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the exquisite white marble fountain adorned with twelve majestic lions. These magnificent creatures spout jets of water, creating an awe-inspiring sight. It is fascinating to note that this fountain has stood for centuries since its creation in the 11th century. Albert F. Calvert's book "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of Peninsula with a particular account of Mohammedan architecture and decoration" serves as our guide through history as we explore this mesmerizing structure. The intricate geometric patterns and decorative plasterwork on display highlight both Islamic and Hispano-Arabic influences. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we are transported indoors to witness not only stunning interior design but also religious significance. This Moorish masterpiece reflects Nasrid dynasty craftsmanship and showcases elements such as domed pavilions, porticos, stucco work, and ornate interiors.
