	Medieval art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Medieval art was of many crafts, such as mosaics and sculpture; and there were many unique genres of art, such as Crusade art or animal style.
		Byzantine arts crowning achievment were the monumental frescos and mosaics inside domed churches, most of which have not survived due to natural disasters and the re-appropriation of churches to mosques.
		Pre-Romanesque art is the period from the crowning of Charlemagne in 800 to the start of the Romaneque period in the 12th century.

	Saudi Aramco World : Second Flowering: Art of the Mudejars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Visigothic Spain was conquered by Muslim armies from North Africa in 711, and within varying territorial limits, Islamic rule continued in the Iberian Peninsula until 1492.
		Mudejar art and architecture derive from the Islamic art traditions of the Iberian Peninsula, but must be viewed through the prism of the reconquista.
		But the role of Mudejar art in the New World was substantial, and should be viewed in the light of those converted Mudejars who arrived in the New World, the perceived urgent need to build churches and the evolution of Spanish policies.

	Paper in Progress
		When we look at examples of Islamic art and architecture in Spain, it is important to remember that at the time of the Muslim conquest of Spain, in 711, only 92 years after the death of the Prophet, Islamic civilization was still in its infancy, even in the Arabian heartland.
		The court art of the Umayyad Emirate was flavored by a nostalgia for the lost glories of Damascus and the middle eastern heartland of Islam.
		The fabulous palace-city of the Alhambra in Granada was the culmination of refinement of the Islamic arts in Spain.

	Artwork of Migratory Peoples
		Because these "barbarians" (so-called by the Romans) were migratory, their art is small and portable.
		The "animal" style (or zoomorphic style), which originated in Persia in the third millennium B. C., is characteristic of much of their art.
		Although this is a small church, it demonstrates that migratory peoples learned the art of building permanent structures.

		This district held out longest against the Visigoths, and the fierceness of the struggle of the Roman magnates against the Goths is reflected in the pages of the poet and bishop Sidnoius Apollinaris.

		The Visigothic kingdom did not come to an untimely end like the Vandal and the Ostrogothic; yet it not only fell short of the success which it seemed likely to achieve, but it did collapse suddenly in Gaul.

		Some of the best-known monuments of Muslim Andalusian art, such as the Giralda (the minaret of the Almoravid mosque in Seville) and the Alhambra palace, built by the sultans of Granada from the late thirteenth century onwards, date from long after the time of the caliphs.
		They were built using a technique of interlaced stone arches or ribbing which was quite new in Andalusian art, and had a strong influence on later "Hispano-Moorish" art from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries.
		However, it is generally considered to be a borrowing from Visigothic art, that is from the indigenous architecture that existed in Spain before the Muslim conquest.

	Grabar.Formation of Islamic
		It has generally been agreed that, since the Byzantine and Sassanian emperors are in front while the Visigothic and Ethiopian kings are only partly visible in the back, the remaining two personages, one in front and one behind, were meant to represent one major and one minor ruler.
		All these elements, except the "jewels," are common enough and their significance in late-seventh century art is primarily stylistic; but the "jewels" present peculiarities that may help to explain the meaning of the structure.
		One aspect of early Islamic art - perhaps of any art - is that which identifies itself as unique and different and, while the forms and the meanings of these uniquenesses vary, the structural fact remains.
