"Cordova" is a watercolor painting by John Frederick Lewis, created in 1835. The painting depicts a scene within the Mezquita of Cordoba, a former mosque that was later converted into a cathedral. The intricate Moorish architecture, characterized by horseshoe arches and intricate tilework, is a prominent feature. The painting also captures the atmosphere of the interior space, with a group of figures in the foreground, including a priest kneeling in prayer. The painting is held in the British Museum, London, and offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Spain.
