Malaga
Louis Haghe after George Vivian, 1838
Hand-coloured lithograph
This view of Málaga is based on a pencil drawing that Vivian created during his second trip to Spain in 1837. The harbour is depicted from the Mole, with boats of various sizes, dotting the calm water surface, their masts and sails adding a rhythmic and picturesque quality to the scene. The townscape is dominated by the large Cathedral of Santa María de la Encarnación, which is carefully drawn and stands out against the mountain range in the background.
