EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Owen Jones Moresque 43," showcases the intricate and historical mosaic designs found in the Alhambra, a renowned palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Spain. The image, taken in 1868, captures the beauty and complexity of the geometric, interlocking patterns that adorn the pilasters and dados (decorative horizontal bands) of this architectural marvel. Owen Jones, a British architect and designer, was a pioneer in the revival of the Moresque style, which takes inspiration from Islamic art and architecture. Jones' designs were characterized by their intricate, interconnected patterns, often featuring stars, squares, and other geometric shapes. The Alhambra, built during the Nasrid Dynasty in the 13th and 14th centuries, is renowned for its stunning decorative elements, which include intricate mosaics, stucco work, and calligraphy. The mosaics in particular are a standout feature, with their vibrant colors and intricate patterns that seem to shimmer and dance in the light. This photograph print offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance and artistic beauty of the Alhambra's mosaic designs. The pilasters and dados, which frame and define architectural spaces, are transformed into works of art in their own right, with each piece of tile carefully placed to create a harmonious and visually stunning whole. The intricate patterns in this photograph print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who created them, as well as the enduring appeal of the Moresque style. Whether appreciated for their historical significance or their aesthetic beauty, these designs continue to captivate and inspire, making this photograph print a must-have for anyone with an interest in art, history, or the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world.
