متن يادداشت

Fourteenth-century Iberia was a complicated and intricate place of intertwining cultural and religious entities; this mingling is particularly evident in the architecture of the Kingdom of Castile. In 1364, Pedro of Castile began a new renovation on the Real Alcázar in Seville that included the addition of the famous Courtyard of the Maidens. More than a hundred years after the fall of Muslim Seville to the Christian Castilians, Pedro chose to emulate an architectural style commonly attributed to the Islamic aesthetics of the Nasrid Kingdom. Pedro's allusions to the Alhambra are not only visible in the form of stylistic references; he cites the Alhambra enigmatically as well. One example is the Arabic incantation found on the walls of the Alcázar of Seville: Wa la ghalib ill Allah-"There is no conqueror but God." This same incantation is repeated countlessly on the walls of Muhammad V's Alhambra, as it is the Nasrid motto. This project investigates the overt references by Pedro to the aesthetics of the Nasrid Kingdom; it also explores the Alcázar as a microcosm of political commerce and power in fourteenth-century Seville. More specifically, it challenges previous assumptions that Pedro's designs were "influenced" by Muhammad V's contemporary renovations of the Alhambra. Through an analysis of primary visual and secondary textual material, this project elucidates how the design and construction of the Alcázar reflect the cultural and religious climate of fourteenth-century Seville. Finally, I aim to unravel the intricate and tangled alliance between Muhammad V and Pedro of Castile in order to reveal connections between the stylistic commerce in their renovations and the political commerce present in their alliance.
