[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 305773, member: 2844"]Same artist, but it is a different view from the one in the painting, with different people, in different dress. This one is either an original lithograph or a reproduction of the lithograph. I am not entirely sure this one is of the Mezquita de Cordoba, or of a mosque on his travels to Egypt and the Middle East. There are people in the dress of Palestine or Lebanon, and a Mufti (?), which you wouldn't see in 19th century Spain. The Mezquita de Cordoba has that coloured banding around the arches, not on the walls. The title is "Interior of the Mosque of the Metwalys" (not cathedral). If anyone knows who the Metwalys are or were, we know where to look. Here is more on David Roberts: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Roberts_(painter)[/URL][/QUOTE]
