Abstract
The pioneering impact of Arabian Antiquities of Spain by Irish Architect James Cavanah Murphy (1760–1814) on nineteenth-century architecture in Europe and the USA is considerable. This article provides a new interpretation of the architect and his life and works, located in the wider professional networks of academic circles and scientific communities. His engravings of some of the major monuments of Hispano-Islamic architecture add to the reinvention of the Islamic legacy of al-Andalus, a cultural translation of “Moresque” architecture, ornament, and polychromy.
