Architectural decoration in the Alhambra, (1898). Creator: Unknown
Architectural decoration in the Alhambra, (1898). Moresque - Architectural Ornament - Spain is the country, where the Islamitic art found its purest and most beautiful development in the buildings of the Moorish kings, for instance, in the palace of Alhambra near Granada (13th and 14th century). Especially with the Moors, Mahomedan ornamentation reached its culminating point. Figs 2-10 represent mouldings and wall surfaces executed in stucco and painted...The Moorish artists knew how to produce wonderful effects by artfully interlacing and twisting the geometrical and arabesque ornaments...we find two...and sometimes even three systems of ornaments...worked into each other.... Plate 28 from " The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from the German of H. Dolmetsch. [B.T. Batford, London, 1898]
