Panels from a blind arch from a balcony in the Generalife

Dª Juana Biedma Molina
As an example of the decorative work carried out during the reign of the Sultan Ismaíl I, we will be looking at this plasterwork decoration from a blind arch from the Bahw or balcony in the Dar al-Manlaka al-Sa`ada in the Generalife.

This piece is currently on display in Room VII of the Museum together with another piece with which it forms a pair.
Through this piece, we will also be analysing the space in which it was located and its function; the decorative aspects of each one of its elements; the techniques used for making plasterwork decorations; as well as the polychrome finishes and the pigments used to paint them.
