La Alhambra By Isidore Severin-Justin Baron de Taylor

About the Item

La Alhambra by Isidore Severin-Justin baron de Taylor. La Alhambra. The work for which Baron Taylor will always be remembered is his monumental publication Voyage pittoresque et romantiques dans l'ancienne France. Of the present work, numbered plates I-X depict the entrance, courtyards, and different rooms or places within the Alhambra. The views of Alhambra are finely draw and lithographed by Leon Auguste Asselineau. The study of Moorish architecture and particularly of the Alhambra, and its highly colourful decorative tiles, was enjoyed a vogue among European artists at this period. Taylor appears to have had the ear of Charles X. He had earlier travelled to Egypt and Syria accompanied by artists Luigi Mayer and Adrien Dauzats on a mission from Charles X to the Egyptian Khedive Mehmet Ali, in an attempt to retrieve the Luxor obelisks for France. In the event he was only partially successful, returning with only the Western obelisk. Publisher : Turpiana Publication: 1988 Text in Spanish. Paperback.
