Grammar of Ornament: plate XLII, Moresque no. 5
Description
Several mosaic designs for tiles on page.
Artist / maker
Jones, Owen
Date
1856
Size
45.0 x 31.0 cm
Type
Lithograph
Various designs for mosaics from the Hall of the Ambassadors, the Hall of the Two Sisters, the Hall of Justice, the Court of the Fish Pond and the Baths. The essence for every Moorish work of art is geometry and this is evidenced by the magnificent display of different patterns they have for mosaics. Even though these designs may seem intricate, they are all based in simple rules that, once again, follow the universal principles of design.
