Artistic interchange between Nasrid Granada and Castile

Artistic interchange between Nasrid Granada and Castile © Al-Masāq, 6 (1993): 1-7 Articles ARTISTIC INTERCHANGE BETWEEN NASRID GRANADA AND CASTILE Rachel Arié Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris One of the factors that have most drawn the attention of historians has been the indisputable influence which Muslim Spain long exercised over Christianity in the Peninsula. During the late Middle Ages, cultural contact was frequent between a Muslim Spain reduced to the realm of Granada, in the extreme south-east and the Christian Kingdoms to the north, -Castile and Aragon-, though they were often at war from 630/1232 to 898/1492. In the reconquered areas Muslim habits survived thanks to the Mudéjares or Muslims marooned in Christian-held territory. Thanks to the Mudéjar element a veritable syncretism is effected in the artistic field. This takes in all the work carried out by Muslims living under Christian rule, also the works which carry on the traditions of Hispano-Islamic art although carried out by Christian artists. The rulers, those of Castile above all, and the eminent personages of their court preferred to have their palaces decorated and arranged after the Islamic manner so they had recourse to Mudéjar artists, mostly Toledans and Sevillans who, in no few respects, sought their inspiration http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Al-Masaq: Journal of the Medieval Mediterranean Taylor & Francis
