Baroque and Rococo Reflections in Grand Mosques

The grand ceiling of Ali bin Abdulrahman Mosque reflects in a serene pond, the image showcasing an exquisite blend of baroque lighting and quadratura, creating an atmosphere of wealthy portraiture. A similar scene unfolds in Sheikh Sachura Mosque, with the mirror-like water surface reflecting the light gold, exotic ambiance. The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi and Sheikha Sheikha’s Grand Mosque in Istanbul, Austria, are depicted with moody lighting and rococo interiors, their columns and totems mirrored in the hyper-realistic water.
