Walls in the foyer of the Museo de Bellas Artes in Sevilla are tiled with 15th-century azulejos. The early 19th-century azulejo (pictured below) found at a local flea market is a copy of the 15th-century tile pictured (above, center).
The azulejos pictured (above and below) are reproductions of designs from the 15th-18th centuries. They are produced by the master tilemaker Antonio Campos, at his workshop in Triana. His work is available at Ceramica Santa Ana, also in Triana.
The paisley-patterned tablecloth in the background of these photos was purchased in Sevilla during a 2004 visit.
Your shots bring out Sevilla’s charm
I’ve always loved azulejos, great art, great people!
Vive España!!!

That tablecloth? I had one awhile back that a friend bought me back from England. She bought it for me at a flea market, exactly the same - sadly it wore out from over use. Those tiles are exquisite - I have a 'thing' for old tiles.

These tiles are stunning! I'm developing a taste for this kind of art. It could be dangerous.

I love dreaming up stories of the artist who made art like this. They are great.
