EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Court of the Myrtles (Patio de los Arrayanes) and the majestic Tower of Comares, both integral parts of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. The lithograph was created by John Frederick Lewis in 1835, based on sketches and drawings from his time at this iconic Islamic palace. The image transports us back to the 14th century when this architectural marvel was built during the Nasrid Dynasty. The courtyard's centerpiece is a tranquil pond surrounded by myrtle bushes, reflecting their beauty onto its surface. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of the intricate Moorish design elements that define Islamic architecture. Our eyes are drawn towards the Tower of Comares rising proudly above all else. Built by Yusuf I as an expansion to Palacio de Comares, this tower stands tall with its crenellated walls and stilted arches showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. The composition captures a sense of serenity within this vibrant space while highlighting every detail with precision. From alabaster columns to jasper embellishments, each element adds to the grandeur and splendor that defines Alhambra. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Lewis' artistic talent but also provides a glimpse into one of Andalucia's most treasured landmarks. It serves as a reminder of how history can be preserved through art for generations to come.
