EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite ornamentation found in the doorway at the entrance to the Ventana, Hall of the Two Sisters, within the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. Dating back to the 14th century, this interior decoration is a testament to the rich heritage and architectural brilliance of Moorish design. The photograph, taken in 1907 by Albert F. Calvert and featured as color plate 4 in his book "The Alhambra: being a brief record of the Arabian conquest of Peninsula with a particular account of Mohammedan architecture and decoration" captures every intricate detail of this Hispano-Arabic masterpiece. The geometric patterns adorned with gold accents create an awe-inspiring visual spectacle that transports viewers back in time. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported into a world where religion and art seamlessly intertwine. The stucco work represents not only exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a reflection of Islamic culture and its devotion to beauty.
