Arabic style

 

The Muslim art differs substantially from a Christian. The Koran bans images of people and animals. Islam did not know the sculpture, while Muslim artists have created an infinite number of different ornaments, which they covered the walls of buildings, household items, carpets, clothing and jewelry, horse harness and weapons.

Fantasy Muslim architects developed rapidly as well as to exaggerate the wealth and thirst for luxury their rulers. Unbeatable for the fairy-tale beauty and rich decorations are Muslim or Mauritanian built in Spain. Palaces Caliph and his grandee utopali in luxury, surrounded by beautiful fountains and gardens with exotic birds. Connecting the architecture, greenery and water, the Arab architects wanted the wilderness "entered" into the architecture.

Nearly weightless columns, whom a great many, have bee cell capacity similar to the arcade and tiled roofs. Exactly lace, they seem so fragile that resemble icicles or stalactites in caves.

Magic has further reinforced a sense of wealth colors: white columns capitals covered scintillating gilding, and arches - fantastic pattern of gold, red and dark blue Cinnabar blues.
