ملامح العمارة الإسلامية في الرسم الاستشراقي

Abstract EN

This research aims to shed light on Islamic architecture in orientalist painting, by showing the interest of oriental artists and architects in the features of Islamic architecture, its architecture and its aesthetics, by reading some of the paintings that depicted this architecture, of all its kinds, in an eloquent description that included accurate architectural details of decorations, miniatures and geometric shapes, the consistency of shapes and colors, and that chronicled the history of eastern architecture.

this study concluded that orientalist painting, despite the falsification that affected part of it and despite its multiple goals, was distinguished by an important documentary value, which preserved an important part of the architectural heritage, and chronicled the history of architecture in the Islamic world before the invention of photography, as it remained a witness to the buildings that time and nature changed their features.
