Philibert Joseph Girault de Prangey (1804–93) was a French orientalist who devoted a great deal of time to studying the monuments of Moorish Spain and of the Near East and the Levant. Several collections of his colour lithographs were published, and he exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1836. The detailed record drawings of ornamentation, alternating with more atmospheric views of the city of Granada and the vistas of the Alhambra, captured the imagination of orientalists across Europe. De Prangey’s works became well-known in Victorian England and were known to be held in the collection of Owen Jones.
