EDITORS COMMENTS
The enchanting Courtyard of the Dolls, or Patio de las Munecas, in the historic Real Alcazar of Seville, Andalusia, Spain, transports us back to the 18th century with this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving. The intricately designed courtyard, a masterpiece of Moorish architecture, is adorned with vibrant Hispano-Moresque pottery, showcasing intricate tile patterns inspired by Arabesque motifs. The courtyard's name derives from the life-sized dolls, dressed in traditional Andalusian attire, which once inhabited the niches of the arches. The Alcazar, a royal palace, was built during the Moorish Almohad dynasty in the 13th century and has since undergone various renovations, including additions by the Christian monarchs Peter of Castile and Charles V. The fusion of Moorish and Christian architectural elements is evident in this image, as the arches and columns are adorned with delicate floral motifs and geometric patterns. The centerpiece of the courtyard is a grand vase, reminiscent of the renowned pottery from Granada, which adds to the exotic allure of this enchanting space. The handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Giarre after Giulio Ferrario in his Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural fusion that characterizes the Alhambra and the Real Alcazar of Seville. This illustration is a testament to the enduring beauty and influence of the Islamic art and architecture that shaped the Iberian Peninsula during the 18th century.
