Art produced by Muslim craftsmen in Christian Spain is known as Mudéjar art. Despite the political and religious pressures of the Christian <i>Reconquista</i>, Muslim craftsmen remained highly valued for their great skills and Christian clients in Spain and abroad often turned to them for the decoration of secular as well as religious works.<br/> <br/> Mudéjar art is known for its striking lustre ceramics, which include <i>albarello</i>s and dishes bearing the coats of arms of European patrons. Mudéjar woodwork was also popular both as furniture and as church decoration.
