Andrew Schulz, Professor of Art History, University of Arizona The eighteenth century witnessed new interest in Spain’s Islamic heritage. The most significant example of this fascination with the Islamic past is a suite of thirty-one prints entitled Antigüedadesárabes de España (Arabian Antiquities of Spain), issued by the Madrid Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1787. This lecture will demonstrate how this publication offers an invaluable point of entry into eighteenth-century conceptions of Islamic Iberia. $10; free for SMU faculty/staff/student; free for members at the Individual level and above
