The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba: Graphic Analysis of Interior Perspectives by Girault de Prangey around 1839 Gámiz Gordo, Antonio Cantizani Oliva, Juan Reinoso Gordo, Juan Francisco Mosque-Cathedral Córdoba Girault de Prangey View Perspective 3D laser scanner This research has been funded by internationalisation grants awarded to the Instituto Universitario de Arquitectura y Ciencias de la Construcción (IUACC) of the VI Plan Propio de Investigación y Transferencia of the University of Seville. This research has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Cabildo de la Catedral de Córdoba. The authors are also grateful for the support from the research group Expregrafica, Lugar Arquitectura y Dibujo (PAIDI-HUM-976); Programa de Doctorado en Arquitectura, Instituto Universitario de Arquitectura y Ciencias de la Construcción from the University of Seville; the research group Ingeniería Cartográfica (PAIDI-TEP-164) from the University of Jaén; and the Survey and Modelling Laboratory (SMlab) from the University of Granada. The work of Philibert Girault de Prangey, who was a draughtsman, pioneering photographer and an Islamic architecture scholar, has been the subject of recent exhibitions in his hometown (Langres, 2019), at the Metropolitan Museum (New York, 2019) and at the Musée d’Orsay (Paris, 2020). After visiting Andalusia between 1832 and 1833, Prangey completed the publication “Monuments arabes et moresques de Cordoue, Seville et Grenada” in 1839, based on his own drawings and measurements. For the first time, this research analyses his interior perspectives of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba (Spain). The novel methodology is based on its comparison with a digital model derived from the point cloud captured by a 3D laser scanner. After locating the different viewpoints, the geometric precision and the elaboration process are analysed, taking into account historic images by various authors, other details published by Prangey and the architectural transformations of the building. In this way, the veracity and documentary interest of some beautiful perspectives of a monument inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO is valued. 2021-04-26T06:13:15Z 2021-04-26T06:13:15Z 2021-03-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Gámiz-Gordo, A.; Cantizani-Oliva, J.; Reinoso-Gordo, J.F.
