Hi Yohann,

Not likely to find reminiscences of Spanish Renaissance in nineteenth century South Caucasus IMHO.

Coincidence?

Indication that similar motifs existed in the Islamic portfolio in the 14-15 th century and
1) travelled to Al Andalus and
2) survived in Caucasus until the 19th century?

For sure the analogy is puzzling.

Amitiés
Pierre
