"The Fall of Granada in 1492" is a historical painting created in 1890 by the Spanish artist Carlos Luis Ribera y Fieve. This artwork captures the dramatic and pivotal moment in Spanish history when the last Muslim stronghold in the Iberian Peninsula, the city of Granada, fell to the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. This event marked the conclusion of the Reconquista, a centuries-long series of campaigns by Christian states to recapture territory taken by Muslims.

Ribera y Fieve, known for his historical and genre paintings, meticulously depicts the surrender of the Nasrid ruler, Boabdil, to the victorious Catholic Monarchs. The painting is celebrated for its detailed representation of the historical figures, the rich costumes, and the emotional intensity of the scene. The artist's use of color, light, and composition effectively conveys the gravity and significance of this historical turning point.

The artwork not only serves as a visual recounting of a significant historical event but also reflects the 19th-century Spanish interest in national history and identity. During this period, there was a resurgence of interest in Spain's medieval past, often romanticized and idealized in literature and art. Ribera y Fieve's painting is a product of this cultural movement, aiming to evoke a sense of pride and nostalgia for Spain's historical achievements.

"The Fall of Granada in 1492" is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, one of the most prestigious art museums in the world. The painting remains an important piece within the museum's collection, offering viewers a glimpse into a defining moment in Spanish history through the lens of 19th-century artistic interpretation.
