This ornamentation defines Emirates the minarets, porches, interior courtyards and patios. The ceramic colors in different tones and arrangements provide spaces with an exceptional quality that highly characterizes this medieval Arab architecture. The polychromic compositions of the ceramic with their intrinsic spatial and aesthetical value remain largely unexplored. This research attempts to explore first, an untapped ancestral know-how or “savoir- faire” and second, to demonstrate that this architectural heritage has a colorful atmosphere, whose evolution is linked to the relationship between shapes, lights, materials and colors as well as its socio-cultural context. The investigation method consists of a survey of colors on ceramics and an analysis of arrangement patterns between colors and geometry (relationship and mixtures of colors) to determine the rhythms, harmonies of figures and background, optical compositions, and finally determine the color language and agreements that result. Color properties, the subtle combination of colors and materials interacting with an exquisite geometry display a decisive influence on the appearance and the ambiance that emerge, providing brightness and light, creating rhythm, motley and fusion in a web of optical effects, filled with symbolism, suitable for the cultural and religious circumstances of the place.

  • Barcelona and the Paradox of the Baroque by Jorge Luis Marzo1
    Barcelona and the Paradox of the Baroque By Jorge Luis Marzo1 Translation by Mara Goldwyn Catalan historiography constructed, even from its very beginnings, the idea that Catalunya was not Baroque; that is, Baroque is something not very "proper" to Catalunya. The 17th and 18th centuries represent the dark Baroque age, in contrast with a magnificent Medieval and Renaissance era, during which the kingdom of Catalunya and Aragón played an important international role in a large part of the Mediterranean. The interpretation suggests that Catalunya was Baroque despite itself; a reading that, from the 19th century on - when it is decided that all negative content about Baroque should be struck from the record in order to transform it into a consciously commercial and urban logo - makes implicit that any reflection on such content or Baroque itself will be schizophrenic and paradoxical. Right up to this day. Though the (always Late-) Baroque style was present in buildings, embellishments and paintings, it however did not have an official environment in which to expand and legitimate itself, nor urban spaces in which to extend its setup (although in Tortosa, Girona, and other cities there were important Baroque features). The Baroque style was especially evident in rural churches, but as a result of the occupation of principle Catalan plazas - particularly by the Bourbon crown of Castile - principal architectonic realizations were castles and military forts, like the castle of Montjuic or the military Citadel in Barcelona. Public Baroque buildings hardly existed: The Gothic ones were already present and there was little necessity for new ones. At the same time, there was more money in the private sphere than in the public for building, so Baroque programs were more subject to family representation than to the strictly political.

  • Viva Barcelona!
    Viva Barcelona! A group of Longhill students of Spanish were lucky enough to visit the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona during their recent trip to Spain. Students were based in the sun-drenched resort of Salou, in the province of Tarragona, for their stay over the Easter holidays. For many students, it was their first time abroad and also their first time on a plane – an exciting start to the trip and a relief to touch down safely at Barcelona airport. From there, it was a two hour coach trip to the hotel in the resort of Salou. Student Kaia told us, “It was a nice hotel. People - guests and staff - were really friendly and I shared a room with two other girls. It was a great opportunity to get to know people better – school friends, other students and Spanish people. People were open and friendly and seemed to be more accepting than people back home. There were some Spanish, French and Irish students staying in the hotel and they were all really nice and friendly too.” The students were impressed by how different the Spanish architecture was. “The architecture was amazing – very interesting.” Kaia told us, “The way the buildings were structured and even the flooring designs had meaning, in fact even tiny designs had meaning. We went to the Gaudi Museum and saw some of his amazing design work. It was so interesting to see how Spain is structured differently to home.” She added, “We didn’t go into any of the Gaudi buildings, but it was great to take pictures from outside and the colours everywhere were so vibrant.

    VALENCIA CITY GUIDE - THINGS TO SEE AND DO See inside for details about getting around, sightseeing, shopping, nightlife and more Welcome to Valencia Spain’s third-largest city is a magnificent place, content for Madrid and Barcelona to grab the headlines while it gets on with being a wonderfully liveable city with thriving cultural, eating and nightlife scenes. Never afraid to innovate, Valencia diverted its flood-prone river to the outskirts and converted the former riverbed into a glorious green ribbon of park winding right through the city. On it are the strikingly futuristic buildings of the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, designed by local boy Santiago Calatrava. Other brilliant contemporary buildings grace the city, which also has a fistful of fabulous Modernista buildings, great museums, a long stretch of beach and a large, characterful old quarter. Valencia, surrounded by its huerta, a fertile zone of market gardens, is famous as the home of rice dishes such as paella, but its buzzy dining scene offers plenty more besides; it's a superb spot for eating. Getting around Walking If you have some time on your hands, there's no better way to get around Valencia than by walking. It will give you the opportunity to really take in your surroundings. You can take a walk around the old town or even head down the reconstructed river bed to the City of Art and Sciences and the beach. Valencia is a relatively small city, so if you have the time, make the most of your break and take a relaxing stroll Buses Taking buses around Valencia will offer you the opportunity to get around the city whilst seeing the sights as you travel.

  • Catalonia 1400 the International Gothic Style
    Lluís Borrassà: the Vocation of Saint Peter, a panel from the Retable of Saint Peter in Terrassa Catalonia 1400 The International Gothic Style Organised by: Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. From 29 March to 15 July 2012 (Temporary Exhibitions Room 1) Curator: Rafael Cornudella (head of the MNAC's Department of Gothic Art), with the collaboration of Guadaira Macías and Cèsar Favà Catalonia 1400. The International Gothic Style looks at one of the most creative cycles in the history of Catalan art, which coincided with the period in western art known as the 'International Gothic Style'. This period, which began at the end of the 14th century and went on until the mid-15th century, gave us artists who played a central role in the history of European art, as in the case of Lluís Borrassà, Rafael Destorrents, Pere Joan and Bernat Martorell. During the course of the 14th century a process of dialogue and synthesis took place between the two great poles of modernity in art: on one hand Paris, the north of France and the old Netherlands, and on the other central Italy, mainly Tuscany. Around 1400 this process crystallised in a new aesthetic code which, despite having been formulated first and foremost in a French and 'Franco- Flemish' ambit, was also fed by other international contributions and immediately spread across Europe. The artistic dynamism of the Franco- Flemish area, along with the policies of patronage and prestige of the French ruling House of Valois, explain the success of a cultural model that was to captivate many other European princes and lords.

  • Art History of Spain in the History of Western Art, Spain
    Art History of Spain In the history of Western Art, Spain occupies a very significant and distinct position; after the French and the Italians, the Spanish are probably the most important contributors to the development and evolution of art in the Western Hemisphere. Over the centuries, numerous Spanish artists have contributed heavily to the development of European art in almost all the “major” fields like painting, sculpture and architecture. While Spanish art has had deep linkages with its French and Italian counterparts, Spain’s unique geographic location has allowed it to evolve its own distinct characteristics that set it quite apart from other European artistic traditions. Spain’s fascinating history of conquest and trade is inextricably linked to the evolution of its art. Cave Paintings of Altamira, Spain The earliest inhabitants of what is now modern-day Spain were known for their rich art traditions, especially with respect to cave-paintings from the Stone Age. The Iberian Mediterranean Basin in the regions of Aragon and Castile-La Mancha in eastern Spain, and the world famous Altamira Cave paintings in Cantabria are both UNESCO World Heritage sites that showcase vivid cave paintings from the Stone Age. Pre-Romanesque Period Over the course of history, Spain has been deeply influenced by the culture art of its neighbors, who were more often than not its conquerors. The Roman control over Hispania, from 2nd century BC to 5th century AD, had a deep influence on Spain, especially in its architecture dating from that period. The Aqueduct of Segovia, Alcantara Bridge and the Tower of Hercules Lighthouse are some of the important monuments from that period that still survive to-date.
