Note 28 — Chapter III · SEVILLE REVISITED DECEMBER 1831-DECEMBER 1832
Reading edition
The visit which John Frederick Lewis (1805-76) paid to Spain (1832-4) was a turning-point in his artistic career. Till then he had devoted himself almost exclusively to animals. His Sketches and Drawings of the Alhambra were published in 1835, and his Sketches of Spain and Spanish Character in 1836. Frederick Christian Lewis, the father of “Spanish” Lewis, was a well-known engraver and landscape painter.
