History 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.

Convivencia
27
Throughout all of Spain's history there have been multiple cultures/religious groups that inhabited their land simultaneously. Between 700-1492 there were three religious groups that occupied one space in Spain, Al-andalus. These groups were Chirstians, Muslim, and Catholics. On this page, I will talk about how it was to live with different cultural/religious groups in that time.

During the Convivencia, Spain was a melting pot of diverse cultures, languages, and beliefs. Islamic Moors, Christian Visigoths, and Jewish communities coexisted in an atmosphere of relative peace, fostering a unique environment of intellectual, artistic, and scientific exchange. Despite their religious differences, these communities embraced a shared vision of mutual respect, cooperation, and coexistence. Scholars, philosophers, and artists from all three traditions collaborated to gain knowledge and create some ideals that we still use until this day. This exchange of knowledge and ideas laid the groundwork for the preservation and advancement of various disciplines, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. In this era of Convivencia, religious and cultural diversity was not only tolerated but celebrated. Mosques, churches, and synagogues stood side by side, each reflecting the rich architectural and artistic influences of its respective community, and many reflecting influences of others. Also, in this era it is seen that there were many customs there adopted by the Spanish community.
However, as with any historical period, the Convivencia was not without its challenges. Despite its notable achievements, the harmony was occasionally marred by political tensions and power struggles. Nevertheless, the spirit of coexistence endured, leaving an indelible mark on the fabric of Spanish society and shaping the course of European history. These power struggles can further be seen in tax regulations, forced conversions of muslims, and the forcing removal of muslims from Spain. - 1 2023-08-03T08:39:39-07:00 Horseshoe Arch 3 plain 2023-08-03T08:54:33-07:00 Although obscure, a horseshoe arch can be noticed which is a distinct characteristic of Muslim architecture. This characteristic is interesting to signal out because this Mosque- Cathedral has a combination of architecture that represents that same co habitation of cultures and religions.
