EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "[The Lion Court at the Alhambra, Viewed from Beneath the Portico Temple], 1862" takes us on a journey back to the enchanting Alhambra in Granada, Andalucia. Captured by Charles Clifford in the 19th century using albumen silver print techniques, this image showcases the mesmerizing architectural features of this historic site. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a time when Britain had an insatiable fascination with foreign lands. The intricate columns and pillars of the Lion Court stand tall against a backdrop of ancient walls adorned with Islamic patterns. The central fountain adds a touch of tranquility to this grand courtyard. Clifford's skilled photography allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the religious significance of these surroundings. This Moorish palace is steeped in Hispano-Arabic history and serves as a testament to Islamic artistry. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this image invites viewers from around the world to embark on their own virtual tour through time and space. It serves as both a reminder of our shared heritage and an inspiration for future travelers seeking cultural exploration. Let Clifford's lens guide you through this remarkable tourist attraction – where religion meets architecture, where history intertwines with modernity – all captured within one striking monochromatic frame.
