The Moors transformed the Iberian peninsula over a period of 800 years from 711A.D. to 1492 A.D. Their ingenuity in agriculture, civil engineering, water management, medicine, botany, astronomy, engineering, and mathematics revolutionized Europe and served as a beacon of high civilization at a time when Europe was in the midst of its Dark Ages. These paintings are depictions of what could be termed a golden era of the Moorish empire. Painted by 18th and 19th century painters, the images evoke the resounding impact of the Moors on the world.
