Over two decades this art historical tour de force has consistently proved the classic introduction to humanity's artistic heritage. From our paleolithic past to our digitised present, every continent and culture is covered in an articulate and well-balanced discussion. In this Seventh Edition, the text has been revised to embrace developments in archaeology and art historical research, while the renowned contemporary art historian Michael Archer has greatly expanded the discussion of the past twenty years, providing a new perspective on the latest developments. The insight, elegance and fluency that the authors bring to their text are complemented by 1458 superb illustrations, half of which are now in colour. These images, together with the numerous maps and architectural plans, have been chosen to represent the most significant chronological, regional and individual styles of artistic expression.

They discuss, for example, how the universal caliphs of the first six centuries gave way to regional rulers and how, in this new world order, Iranian forms, techniques, and motifs played a dominant role in the artistic life of most of the Muslim world; the one exception was the Maghrib, an area protected from the full brunt of the Mongol invasions, where traditional models continued to inspire artists and patrons. By the sixteenth century, say the authors, the eastern Mediterranean under the Ottomans and the area of northern India under the Mughals had become more powerful, and the Iranian models of early Ottoman and Mughal art gradually gave way to distinct regional and imperial styles.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Kunst - Architektur, Baugeschichte, Denkmalpflege, Note: 1,3, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The great mosque of Kairouan is one of the great Islamic monuments in North Africa. Built mainly in the ninth century it nevertheless comprises most of the main traits of future developments in North African praying architecture. It served as a model for many other mosques in North Africa. But even more interesting than its profound influence upon other buildings is it own construction history. This essay examines closely the numerous intercultural influences which have contributed to the formation of the monument of the Sidi Okba Mosque. In order to achieve this, the Islamic expansion is recapitulated in the first part and the importance and meaning the architecture of payer in Islam is examined. Furthermore important parts und fixed building methods for mosques are studied. The mosque of Sidi Okba is then thoroughly described and its individual parts dated. The individual parts of the building and its decoration are analyzed concerning their relationship to the architecture of other cultures. The identification and allocation of cultural influences makes it then possible to analyze exchange and adjustment processes between cultures. In the mosque one can easily diferenciate a mixture of different styles from the near east. Ultimately in the Great Mosque of Kairouan one can observe the formation of Islamic Art. Which is a composite art that combines the traditions of various cultures (Byzantine, Persian, Roman and more) and melds them together and refines them into a new art. Thus the study of the Sidi Okba mosque helps us to understand the formation of Islamic art
