Sala de las dos Hermanas in het Alhambra van Granada 1900 - 1930

This sepia photograph by Enrique Linares captures the Sala de las Dos Hermanas in the Alhambra of Granada, and it's a lesson in how one space opens into another. I find myself wondering about Linares, and what he was trying to capture. Was it the architecture, or the way the light moves through the space? Look how he's framed the arches, drawing your eye deeper and deeper. The patterns on the wall aren't just decoration; they're like brushstrokes, each tiny piece contributing to a bigger, more complex picture. And that's what painting is, right? Layering, revealing, obscuring until something new emerges. Linares, with his camera, is doing the same thing. He's not just documenting a room; he's showing us how to see it, how to feel it. It's all connected, this act of looking and making.
