Patio de las Muñecas in het Koninklijk Paleis van Sevilla 1890 - 1930

This photograph of the Patio de las Muñecas at the Alcázar of Seville, was taken by Rafael Garzón. It's a dance of light and shadow captured in sepia tones. The texture! Look at the intricate latticework, a symphony of geometric patterns playing across the surface. Each arch, each column, is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, with every detail carefully articulated, while the play of light and shadow softens the rigid geometry. Notice how the photographer's eye leads us through the courtyard, the rhythmic repetition of forms creating a sense of depth and harmony. It reminds me of M.C. Escher, actually, with its infinite regress. I love how the rigid formality of the architecture is softened by the ethereal quality of the light, almost like a veil. It's a reminder that art is not just about what we see, but how we see it.
