Аннотация:
«Al Andalus, «Europe's Orient» was for centuries a melting pot of Moorish and Christian cultures on the southern coast of Spain, producing art and architecture like nowhere else. Along with the art of Velazquez, Murillo, and de Zurbaran, this book tours such enchanting sites as the Mosque at Cordoba, the Alhambra at Granada, and Seville Cathedral. Compact enough to take on a tour, these pleasingly chunky art books focus on a particular city or region, presenting outstanding examples of the art and architecture found there. Each offers a quick orientation and art historical explanations, color photographs of the works discussed, essays on history and culture, town maps and ground plans with thumbnail views, an illustrated time chart, and a guide to architectural styles.»
