Summary

A new interpretation of the 'Lady of Justice' paintings in the Alhambra's Hall of Justice reveals her symbolic significance as part of Nasrid dynastic self-representation, linking her to trees, vegetation, gardens, and the Prophet Muhammad's family. This study suggests that the Nasrids drew parallels with Christian courts' reverence for the Virgin Mary, enriching our understanding of Islamic art and its cultural context. The research employs textual analysis to propose this connection, offering a fresh perspective on the Alhambra's artistic and symbolic dimensions.
