Spreading from the Arabian Peninsula, the proselyte believers conquered, in a few centuries, a territory spreading from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. Multicultural and multi-ethnical, this polymorphic and highly spiritual art, in which all representation of Man and God were prohibited, developed canons and various motives of great decorative value. Thorough and inventive, these artists expressed their beliefs by creating monumental masterpieces such as the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the Taj Mahal in AgrTemporisIslamic artIslamic architectureIslamic art.Islamic architecture.709.1767709/.1/7671Migeon Gaston1861-1930.130780Saladin Henri1851-1923.1478599MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791743503321Art of Islam3694315UNINA
