Rafael Contreras’s 19th-century “Architectural Model Based on the Alhambra” is a detailed, three-dimensional representation of the intricate ornamentation of the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain. The model, made of carved wood and painted with gold and red, captures the essence of the Islamic architectural style, featuring delicate arches, intricate patterns, and a rich color palette. This miniature model of the Alhambra, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the architectural splendor of Moorish Spain.
