This course will tell the story of how Moorish and Spanish traditions inspired the creation of the Casa del Herrero, a National Historic Landmark. A collaboration among the owner, architects, antiquarians, and landscape architects led to the creation of the buildings, furnishings, and gardens of the Casa in 1925. We will examine the influence of the Moors, from their invasion of Spain in 711 onward, on the art, architecture, and landscaping of Spanish palaces and homes. We will then turn to the migration of Spanish aesthetics to Southern California at the beginning of the 20th Century and to the furnishings, gardens, and architecture of the Casa as the culmination of all of these influences.
