The court of the Alhambra 

"The Court of the Alhambra" is a painting by Mariano Fortuny Marsal, a Spanish artist known for his vivid depictions of Orientalist subjects. Created in the late 19th century, the artwork captures the intricate architecture and vibrant atmosphere of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. It showcases the palace's courtyard with its intricate arches, ornate tilework, and a central reflecting pool. The figures within the courtyard, dressed in traditional attire, provide a sense of scale and human activity within the grand space. Fortuny's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism. This painting, like many of Fortuny's works, reflects the growing fascination with the exotic and the allure of the East in European art of the time.
