VELIKA DŽAMIJA U DAMASKU, DJELO SIMBIOZE ISLAMA I KULTURA ORIJENTA
THE GREAT MOSQUE IN DAMASCUS - A WORK OF SYMBIOSIS OF ISLAM AND THE CULTURE OF THE ORIENT

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of Islamic art as a cultural and historical reality of Islam is linked to the Ummayads. The crowning work of Islamic culture of the Ummayad Period is one of the most interesting works of Islamic architecture in general - the Great Mosque in Damascus. This work marks the coming out of Islamic art from the phase of vacillation and a wavering search for a more authentic artistic expression into a phase of a more confident relationship with its own spiritual origins and more certain aesthetic and artistic self-defining.
