Abstract
Baron Davillier’s network allows study of the Moorish Revival in nineteenth-century Europe through scholarly and artistic sociabilities. Particular attention is paid to his relationships with Mariano Fortuny y Marsal, Henri Regnault, and Théodore Deck in order to illustrate how art collecting played an important part in the development of the Moorish Revival, not only in the field of architecture but also in painting and decorative arts. Becoming famous with his study on Ibero-Islamic lusterware, Davillier was linked to a trend of Spanish Orientalism that studied the Islamic heritage of Andalusí culture. His network also shows how the Moorish Revival was a transnational phenomenon.
