Moors: Masterworks Paintings Chronicling The Empire

The Moors transformed the Iberian peninsula over a period of 800 years from 711A.D. to 1492 A.D. Their ingenuity in agriculture, civil engineering, water management, medicine, botany, astronomy and mathematics revolutionized Europe and served as a beacon of high civilization at a time when Europe was in the midst of its Dark Ages. These paintings are depictions of what could be termed a golden era of the Moorish empire. Painted by master craftsmen centuries ago, the images evoke the resounding impact of the Moors upon the world. This volume makes an excellent coffee table book, a wonderful addition to a personal library and alongside its companion, Moors: Masterwork Paintings Chronicling The Empire Volume 2, makes a great giftset for Loved ones.
