Richard Yeomans, "The Art And Architecture of Islamic Cairo"
Ithaca Pr | ISBN 1859641547 | 2006-06 | PDF | 280 pages | 19.56 MB


Since Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798, the western traveller has
been obsessed with the Pharaohs and Egypt's ancient past. Her Islamic
culture has been largely ignored, and the pyramids have been allowed to
cast a long shadow over the visual culture of Islamic Cairo, obscuring a
magnificent art and architectural heritage that has lasted over a
thousand years, from the building of the Mosque of Amr in the seventh
century to that of Muhammad Ali in the nineteenth. Cairo is full of
masterpieces of medieval art and architecture reflecting the status of
Egypt as the centre of several significant Muslim empires. The purpose
of this book is to redress the cultural balance and examine the art and
architectural treasures of Cairo from the Arab to the Ottoman conquests
(642-1517). Set within an historical narrative, the stylistic
development of the visual arts is explained within changing religious,
social and political contexts. Examples of the decorative arts -
ceramics, glass, woodwork, metalwork, textiles and manuscripts - are
examined in the Museum of Islamic Art, Cairo, and other major
collections in Europe and the USA.
