Iberian Cultures: The Mediterranean and Transatlantic BlueprintMain MenuProjectsHashtag DescriptionSpanish Art and Architectural InfluencesArt and Architecture from Spain has undoubtedly influenced other newer forms of art and architecture throughout the world. This page combines the lenses of Moorish influence on Spanish style and its subsequent influence in other parts throughout the world.Ahead of Their TimeThis page is a collaborative work between Ana Rand and Lesly Lopez designed to show how literature and architecture were much too advanced for early modern times.Muslim Reign vs. Christian MonarchyCollaborative presentation between Jennifer Flores Romo and Dalia Gutierrez, demonstrates the different ideology between these two different rulings of the Muslims and Christian monarchy.The Endurance of Spanish Pre-HistoryThis is the group page for Gabby Jamall and Sara Barclay, which delves into the history, traditions, and contemporary contributions of the pre-historic groups that occupied the Iberian peninsula, with a particular focus on the Roman Empire.Adelmar Ramireza4bf3b19b77c9f4b12cc64aa3ed1a273dcebf85aDALIA GUTIERREZ237ad6d9ac8ff7b9c51e0f35ec3274ccdd8642d1Lesly Lopez24df74be8a1f11bdbca9085108c7f1019c65944eLisbeth Escobar411bcc190d3522d249e537866e489550570d5804Yolanda Acevedofba459aeae85a6eef9e657c8f8c567232c2d9ebaItzel Tapia-Fregoso09f8174933ebeddee7717439b05578d6cd928c47Denise De La Rosadb8cb999e921af9cbdf074b3ddf1f36a7a7b4c43Gabby Jamall6a5db4b6afcc4c19b158f33113a36072c5244378Sara Barclay465a43aee7ced2ff9e64ec6abcb7c8323692bc54Ana Rand1dc6efbe84331359b6fcfda70bd4836fc72a95ddJennifer Flores Romo23e0c25136145a83ae2ee0b8c427784912a878fcErick Stephens6193cf92d5433c50182b5a05dc6201ffc5c9d009

Architecture is very important because it is what builts up where soceity will inhabit. The Moorish population has a great influence to what Architecture is today. We still see how buldings all over the nations have adopted what Muslims felt was artistic to incorparate into buildings. Modern Architects still study the historical content of the moorish archistructure. #Moorish, #Architecture, #Artimage_header2023-08-03T21:24:35-07:00History Content
The Muslim people have expanded through years all over the world. Since the 700's Spain has had a large population of Muslims who have migrated to the country. The Arab community did not have many rights in Spain until Abd al Rahman(a prince) came to fight and subsequently conquered. After conquering, The Moors ruled large part of Spain of what they called al-Andalus, located in Southern Spain, a city that is known today largely for its remarkable architecture.This history is only one piece on how much Moorish Architecture has inspired nations and adopted the craft.
What was used and Where are some locations The Moors built a series of mosques, citadels, and palaces filled with ornate plaster carvings and tile work. From the geometric grid designs on the minaret that is now part of the Sevilla Cathedral's Giralda bell tower, to the symmetrically arrayed gardens and fountains of the Generalife. Examples of the stunning work of Moorish architects and craftsmen abound in such cities Spanish cities as Sevilla, Grenada, Cordoba and Zaragoza, and yet, its work has expanded all around including in a very popular Universcity in Southern CaliforniaUCLA.
Inspired Artist Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre was a successful artist. His paintings involved the exposure of light passing vividly through his paintings. Louis collected his knowledge through apprenticeships. His expertise spanned to architecture, theatre design, and panoramic painting. Louis was inspired by camera obscura, and he tried to find a way to preserve the image that it creates. Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre was a French painter however he felt very inspired by the influence of Moorish architecture in Spain so much so that he felt the need to paint a shoe horse arched image of a building.
Again, Architecture was important to Daguerres which was demonstrated through another piece. He shared his passion in this gothic castle. Gothic style has also been inspired by The moorish archistructre. When painting he assured to present a pointed arch and it seperates a defining characteristic of Gothic architecture. The pointed arch appears to have been introduced from Islamic characteristics in many areas. Fortunately, it evolved as a structural solution in late Romanesque, both in England at Durham Cathedral, and in the Burgundian Romanesque and Cistercian architecture of France.
Louis is known to have invented the first practical process of photography, known as the daguerreotype. His art work has unraveled what we now know as photography. From the moment of its birth, photography had a dual character as a medium of artistic expression and as a powerful scientific took and Daguerre promoted his invention on both fronts. Several of his earliest plates were still-life compositions of plaster casts after antique sculpture an ideal subject since the white casts reflected light well, were immobile during long exposures, and lent, by association, the aura of “art” to pictures made by mechanical means.
To sum it all up, the ubiquity of daguerreotypes sparked portrait galleries. For the first time, average people could go to galleries and see true images of leaders, officials, and celebrities. These galleries could even travel from place to place. It brought the rich and famous into the average person's life. Architecture is a form of art that Daguerre used to develop an invention we use so much today.
