EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the warm Andalusian sun, a woman in a flowing, feminine dress takes a moment to appreciate the enchanting beauty of the Alhambra of Granada. Surrounded by the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the courtyard, she is captivated by the orientalist charm of this historic site. The Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Granada, Spain. The lithographic print, titled "Alhambra of Granada. Arrayanes or Myrtle," by John Lewis, masterfully captures the romanticism of the scene. The arrayanes or myrtle trees, with their fragrant white flowers, add to the allure of the courtyard, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The woman's reflection in the still water of the fountain adds a sense of tranquility to the image. The use of color in this print is both captivating and evocative. The bright reds, oranges, and yellows of the tiles and walls contrast beautifully with the cool greens of the myrtle trees and the deep blues of the sky. The horizontal composition of the image draws the viewer's eye through the scene, from the woman in the foreground to the intricate details of the Alhambra in the background. This print, created during the height of the orientalist movement in the 19th century, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Alhambra and the romanticism of the Andalusian culture. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the world around us, this print is sure to inspire a sense of wonder and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of Granada and the Alhambra.
