19th century plaster relief model of the Alhambra by Rafael Contreras Spanish, Late 19th Century Height 70cm, width 45cm, depth 7cm This exceptional plaster relief model captures the architectural splendour of the Alhambra and was crafted by the esteemed Spanish architect and artists, Rafael Contreras (1826–1890). As the official architect of the Alhambra from 1847, Contreras played a key role in restoring the historic palace. Alongside his architectural work, he meticulously produced plaster replicas of the facades he was refurbishing. The model in Mayfair Gallery’s collection showcases a beautifully detailed façade from the Alhambra in Granada. This relief, cast from a mould, highlights an elaborate arched entryway. A finely sculpted polychrome tile mosaic dado surrounds the base, while the arch itself is framed by an exquisite combination of epigraphic, geometric, and foliate ornamentation. Above, three arched windows feature delicate pierced tracery, further enhanced by intricate carved embellishments. A notable feature of this model is the richly decorated entrance inset. Adding to its historical significance, the panel bears the signature ‘Modelos de la Alhambra por Contreras’ in the lower right corner. It is housed in an elegant glazed wooden frame, complementing its refined craftsmanship. The reverse retains a fragment of the original paper label, a hallmark of Contreras’ models, which likely detailed the subject matter for travellers. Additionally, a later stamp from a picture restorer is visible. A superb example of architectural artistry, this antique plaster relief...
