"The Moorish Proselytes of Granada in 1500" is a painting by the British artist Edwin Longsden Long (1829–1891), who was known for his historical and orientalist scenes. Created in 1873, this work reflects Long's interest in the Middle East and the history of Spain, particularly the period of the Reconquista, when the Christian kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula sought to reclaim territory from the Muslim Moors.

The painting depicts a scene set in the city of Granada, which was the last Muslim stronghold in Spain before it fell to the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, in 1492. The artwork captures a moment in 1500, eight years after the city's surrender, when the Moors were being forced to convert to Christianity. Long's composition focuses on a group of Moorish converts, or proselytes, who are being instructed in the Christian faith. The painting is rich in historical detail and symbolism, reflecting the cultural and religious tensions of the time.

Edwin Long was a meticulous researcher, and his paintings often included authentic costumes and settings based on his studies and travels. "The Moorish Proselytes of Granada in 1500" is no exception, as it showcases his commitment to historical accuracy combined with his artistic skill. The painting is a significant example of Victorian art and the fascination with orientalist themes that were prevalent during the era.

The work is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries over the years. It has been analyzed by art historians for its portrayal of the complex interactions between different cultures and religions, and it continues to be a subject of study for those interested in the history of Spain, religious conversion, and the orientalist movement in 19th-century British art.
