The Spanish Period Discussion Post

My classmate Paige found the Spanish Renaissance interesting and elaborate. She made note that there were other details incorporated into furniture that included tassels, fringe, braids, and decorative nail heads. The examples of courtyards that she had posted were beautiful, and I can see where modern courtyards have been adapted.

My other classmate Justine noted that there was another phase of decoration known as the Herrera Style. This style was influenced from the Italian Renaissance architects and had classic forms, plain surfaces and sparse decorations. This was different Plateresco and Disornamentado.
