The tile panel of Mexuar
The tile panel of Mexuar is Part of the month of May at the Museum of the Alhambra . Every Saturday, from 12:00 noon, the Patronato de la Alhambra and Generalife organizing this free activity, leading the PhD in Art History and a Masters in Museology, Gaspar Aranda, in Room V. The papers seek to publicly disclose the peculiarities of this item Nazari ornamental.
This large cloth, originally part of a much larger base, shows a plaster frieze runs along the top and a ceramic panel that covers the rest of the body by tiling technique. That is, monochrome glazed with small pieces of different shapes, cut or formed, which have been divided in proportion to compose two types of geometric designs in this particular case, and that resembles a ceramic tile.
The first type of geometric design consists of a loop of thin ribbon interlaced color layout shown in two longitudinal bands that surround the ceramic panel above and below. The whole plot of blue ribbons, Meladas, green and black, protruding on a white background, follow the rules loop: when goes above and below the next. It is a system whose octagonal square-rata basis was obtained from a network of squares in a normal position to which it overlapped other diagonally.
The second geometric design, which occupies the central strip of the panel, consisting of different small polygonal parts (in the same colors seen on the tapes interlaced) proportionally grouped around stars or fates of eight and sixteen points, and tie up eight wheels and sixteen, respectively, indicated by white ribbons. In the longitudinal axis wheel features a large loop of eight (originating from a central but black) and sixteen other truncated (left) with long black Zafatah. This last round is presented, also incomplete, in the upper and lower edges of the composition. A series of eight-wheel loop smaller, but blue and round Zafatah appear filling the spaces between the larger wheels.
The system of proportionate basis of this geometric design is more complex and overlapping several plots, proportionally, the line develops in successive steps. This cloth was cut and removed from the socket northeast Mexuar which included the Museum, and entered in 1947 - because they saw he was covering a Moorish arch that originally gave access to the north gallery of the Golden Room Patio. Gómez-Moreno says in Guide to Granada the tiled plinth, whose fates can make out the motto of the Nazarene, the arms of Charles V and the arms of Mendoza, was executed in the middle of the sixteenth century, when this area was being decorated by artists Moors to convert Christian Chapel.
