MUDÉJAR ART: Islamic Aesthetics in Christian Art reveals the fascinating exuberance
of a unique cultural and artistic symbiosis that characterises Christian Spain after
the Reconquista. The Mudéjars were Muslims allowed to stay in the reconquered
territories. Their artists and artisans strongly influenced the culture and art of the new
Christian kingdoms. In Aragon, Castille, Extremadura and Andalucía sumptuously
decorated brick churches, monasteries and palaces illustrate perfectly the creative
endurance of Islamic forms in Christian art between the 11th and 16th centuries in
Spain.
