increasingly fascinated by the Alhambra palace complex in Granada, Spain. This thesis
examines the prints of three such artists who traveled to Granada, James Cavanah
Murphy (1760-1814), John Frederick Lewis (1805-1876) and David Roberts (1796-
1864), in order to shed light on their shifting attitudes and approaches to the Alhambra. A
comparison of Murphy's publication of 1815 and the works of Lewis and Roberts,
published in the 1830s, will reveal a shift from an attempt to accurately and methodically
record Granada's palace complex, to an increasingly subjective and emotionally-based
approach. The social and cultural context of Britain and Spain in the early nineteenth
century, and the role played by the accompanying text in these publications will also be
considered. / Committee in Charge:
