Moorish Church Interior (Eastern Church)
David Roberts·1832
Historical Context
Moorish Church Interior from 1832 by David Roberts captures the hybrid Moorish-Christian architecture found in Spain. Roberts's Spanish journey exposed him to the extraordinary Islamic architecture of Andalusia that profoundly influenced his subsequent work. His success with lithographic publications of his Middle Eastern travels made Roberts's images of ancient monuments available to a wide public and defined the Victorian visual imagination of the Holy Land and Egypt.
Technical Analysis
The interior combines Moorish arches and decoration with Christian adaptation, rendered with Roberts's precise attention to both architectural systems.
