Granada, the Andalusian splendor and the memory of the Orient
Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, Granada is one of the most fascinating cities in Spain.
The last jewel of the Nasrid kingdom, it still bears the traces of its Arab-Andalusian past: the delicate arches of the Alhambra, the gardens of the Generalife, the winding streets of the Albaicín district, all bathed in golden light and scented with jasmine.
It is a city of mystery, music, and poetry, which has inspired painters, poets, and travelers for centuries.
Through this collection, Artem Legrand pays tribute to Granada, as it was glorified by Mariano Fortuny, Henri Regnault, Joaquín Sorolla, Manuel Gómez-Moreno, José María López Mezquita, John Singer Sargent and Edwin Lord Weeks.
These artists captured the light, sensuality, and magic of a city where East and West meet.
Andalusian magic in your decor
Hanging a painting of Granada means inviting the light of the South and the refinement of Moorish art into your home. The art prints of paintings of Granada evoke the palaces of the Alhambra, the blooming gardens of the Generalife, sun-drenched patios, and the mountainous landscapes of southern Spain.
These works blend perfectly with a Mediterranean, bohemian, warm or classic decor, bringing brightness, serenity, and depth.
A view of the Generalife painted by Fortuny, a sunlit scene by Sorolla, or an orientalist watercolor by Regnault or Sargent will transform your walls into an open window onto Andalusian light.
The painting of Granada is an art of silence and light — a tribute to beauty, time, and history.
The great painters of Granada
Mariano Fortuny (1838–1874) depicted Granada in numerous luminous canvases, celebrating the architectural richness and unique light of the South.
Henri Regnault (1843–1871), a French artist fascinated by Spain, painted the Alhambra and orientalist scenes with rare intensity.
Joaquín Sorolla (1863–1923) captured the Andalusian light in all its splendor, giving Granada a vibrant and lively dimension.
Manuel Gómez-Moreno (1834–1918) painted the city and its landscapes with deep tenderness, between realism and romanticism.
José María López Mezquita (1883–1954), a native of Granada, depicted Spanish life with sensitivity and balance.
John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), a brilliant traveler and watercolorist, translated the golden light and delicate shadows of the Alhambra into his works.
Edwin Lord Weeks (1849–1903), an American orientalist, gave Granada a dreamlike and escapist quality.
Together, they made Granada an eternal muse — a bridge between Andalusian light and the memory of the Orient.
