From the throne room of the moors. One of the embrasures, or window alcoves, of the hall of the ambassadors in the alhambra at granada, spain. In this room met the last assembly of the moors, summoned by boabdil to consider the surrender of granada to the spanish king ferdinand just before columbus discovered america. The visitor is impressed with the fact that the depiction of living things is avoided in moorish architecture and that the decoration is accomplished with geometrical designs which are astonishingly beautiful.
