EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the brackets supporting the ceiling in the portico of the Court of the Lions, located within the historic Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. Dating back to the 14th century, this stunning interior decoration is a testament to Moorish architecture and design. The photograph, taken in 1907 by an unknown creator and featured as color plate 14 in Albert F. Calvert's book "The Alhambra" captures every detail with precision. The golden-hued brackets exhibit a mesmerizing geometric pattern that reflects both Islamic and Hispano-Arabic influences. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era when craftsmanship was revered. The stucco work on these brackets is nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing a level of skill that has stood the test of time. It's fascinating to think about how these decorative elements were meticulously designed and created centuries ago. They serve as a reminder not only of architectural brilliance but also of religious significance, as Islam played a vital role during their construction. Today, this remarkable site remains one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites—a testament to its historical importance and cultural value. This print allows us to appreciate and admire this incredible piece of history from our own homes while marveling at its timeless beauty.
