Barock & Rokoko (Bayern Süd)

Die Sinne schwelgen zu lassen war das Ziel der barocken Kunst. Mit Hilfe prunkvollster Interieurs wurde in Kirchen und Schlössern jedermann die Herrlichkeit göttlicher und weltlicher Ordnung vor Augen geführt. Und welches Land wäre besser dazu geeignet, den barocken Rausch der Sinne nachzuerleben, als Bayern, das wie kein zweites so nachhaltig durch die Barockzeit geprägt wurde, man ...

Portugal

In The Lands Of The Enchanted Moorish Maiden

If such were the aim, Portugal could offer the ideal place to test the validity of a co-ordinated approach to the promotion of culture based on advances in scientific research and development of public awareness.

Gli Omayyadi

La Nascita dell'Arte Islamica

Lungi dall'abolire la libertà di culto e di minare l'impianto delle città esistenti, gli Omayyadi riconobbero a pieno titolo il linguaggio estetico in vigore al loro arrivo in Giordania (661) e ne reinventarono le forme con strabiliante libertà di espressione. Anche se breve (meno di 90 anni) il periodo di governo dei califfi Omayyadi, resta fondamentale nella storia dell'Islam. Nello ...

Early Ottoman Art

Legacy of the Emirates

The apogee of Soliman's reign has for a long time obscured the various seminal disruptions brought into Anatolia by the precursors of the empire. Amongst these were the first Turkish emirates who took advantage of an ebbing Byzantine empire in order to establish themselves in the peninsula.
