History Of arabesque

Arabesque, Inc.'s artistic designs are based on the Islamic architecture of the Umayyad Caliphate, and that of its Abbasid successors. In North Africa, the architecture of the early Fatimid Dynasty, as well as that of the Almoravid Dynasty, falls under the term "arabesque". The development of classical and neoclassical Islamic architecture coincides roughly with the spread of ornamental sculpting on plaster and wood.
Beginning in the late thirteenth century there was a reduction in the scale of ornamentation in relation to surface, and to the size of the whole building structure. This is apparent in the architecture of the Nasrids of Granada, and of the Merinides in Morocco. By 711, the North African governors of the Umayyad caliphs had brought the whole of the Maghreb Desert as far as the Atlantic under Islamic rule, and the building styles of the time reflect this.
In April of 711, the governor of North Africa, Mousa Ibn Nusair, entrusted his subordinate, general Tariq Ibn Ziyad, with the conquest of Spain. Tariq then proceeded to capture Malaga, Granada, and Cordoba. On July 19 of 711, at the Rio Barvate, he defeated the Christian army led by Roderick.
The Muslim government that conquered Spain started to build the prestigious mosques, palaces and buildings that reflected their civilization, thus ensuring a continuity of the Islamic presence in Spain. The great mosque of Cordoba, one of the most magnificent mosques in Spain, was commissioned in 785 by Emir Abd Al Rahman. Other buildings were constructed later, such as the Al Hambra palace, the Comares Palace, and the Court of the Lion.
During the Alaoui Dynasty, and especially under the reign of the late king of Morocco Hassan II, Morocco reached its peak in the production of Moroccan/Andalucian architectural decoration. In each Moroccan city, the king build mosques, museums, Qur’anic schools, and universities in the very prestigious Moroccan style of architectural decoration and design. Even his royal palace was constructed in this striking style. The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is has been called one of the most beautiful mosques in the world.
