History of islamic arts
- Muhammad is the second most famous prophet in Europe, he ”create” the islam and converted Médine and La Mecque in a religious, political and military conquest.
- Since him and the four first caliphs, a new dynasty, the Omeyyade, takes the power as new caliph.
- Like the prophet, they have the temporal or politic power and spiritual or religious power.
- This dynasty creates models for future islamic arts.
- They build castles in the desert and mosque in bigger cities as Damas and Jerusalem.
- The sets of those monuments are melting of ancients arts form Byzance and Sassanide Empire, and new islamic art.
- For exemple, we can speak about the dome of the rock, in Jerusalem.
- He was build by Abd al-Malik, an omeyyade caliph at the end of VIIè century.
- This wonder is a little structur in rock, decorated with mosaics and calligraphy, extracts from the Coran.
- This transition style continue as 850 BC.
- It’s only next this period, with the foundation of Samarra, that art historian talk about a real and independant islamic art.
