Our Secret Geometry: A Fascinating Journey through Ibero-American Mudéjar Art
What connects a medieval mosque in Córdoba, a synagogue in Toledo, and a Christian palace in Seville?
The answer lies in an extraordinary architectural legacy that transcended religious, cultural, and geographical boundaries.
Our Secret Geometry: A Fascinating Journey through Ibero-American Mudéjar Art invites readers to discover the fascinating world of Mudéjar art, where Islamic artistic traditions, Jewish cultural heritage, and Christian patronage contributed to one of the most distinctive architectural expressions of the Iberian Peninsula.
Through architectural exploration and historical analysis, author Monserrat Díaz Ortega reveals how intricate geometric patterns, horseshoe arches, carved plasterwork, decorative ceilings, and ornamental traditions became part of a shared visual language.
From the magnificent Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and the historic synagogues of Toledo to the Royal Alcázar of Seville, the book traces the circulation and transformation of artistic forms across centuries and territories.
But the story does not end in Spain.
As these architectural traditions crossed the Atlantic, they found new expressions in Ibero-America, contributing to a remarkable artistic heritage that continues to connect continents and cultures.
More than a journey through architecture, this book is an invitation to rediscover the cultural connections hidden in the buildings around us.
Ideal for readers interested in:
- Art history and architectural heritage
- Islamic, Jewish, and Christian cultural encounters
- Medieval Spain and Al-Andalus
- Mudéjar art and geometric ornamentation
- Spanish and Ibero-American history
- Cross-cultural artistic influences
Three cultures. A shared architectural legacy. A fascinating journey across centuries and continents.
Discover Our Secret Geometry: A Fascinating Journey through Ibero-American Mudéjar Art and uncover the stories written in stone, wood, and geometry.
