Inside, multicolored frescoes depict scenes from courtly life and the hunt, along with musicians, dancing girls, and naked bathing women. The traveler is transported to the luxurious and erotic world of a mid-eighth-century Muslim Arab prince. For scholars, though, Qusayr 'Amra, probably painted in the 730s or' 740s, h'as proved a mirage, its concreteness dissolved by doubts about date, patron, and meaning. This is the first book-length contextualization of the mysterious monument through a compelling analysis of its iconography and of the literary sources for the Umayyad period. It illuminates not only the way of life of the early Muslim elite but also the long afterglow of late antique Syria. 410 0$aTransformation of the classical heritage ;$v36. 517 3 $aArt and the Umayyad elite in late antique Syria 606 $aMural painting and decoration, Umayyad$zJordan$xForeign influences 606 $aArabic poetry$y622-750$xHistory and criticism 610 $aabbasid. 610 $aabd al malik. 610 $aal azraq. 610 $aal buldn. 610 $aalois musil. 610 $aamir. 610 $aancient art. 610 $aapodyterium. 610 $aarab. 610 $aarabic poetry. 610 $aarabic. 610 $aarchitecture. 610 $aart history. 610 $abath house. 610 $abaths. 610 $acaptive woman. 610 $acourt life. 610 $adancing girls. 610 $adecorative arts. 610 $adesert. 610 $adynasty. 610 $afemininity. 610 $afrescoes. 610 $agender. 610 $ahunt. 610 $ahunting lodge. 610 $aiconography. 610 $airan. 610 $aislam. 610 $ajordan. 610 $akhusraw. 610 $alate antiquity. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amonument. 610 $amurals. 610 $amusicians. 610 $amuslim. 610 $amythology. 610 $anegus. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aode. 610 $apersia. 610 $aprince. 610 $aprincess. 610 $aqusayr amra. 610 $aroderic. 610 $aroyal court. 610 $aself fashioning. 610 $ashaykh musa. 610 $asyria. 610 $aumayyad. 610 $awomen. 615 0$aMural painting and decoration, Umayyad$xForeign influences. 615 0$aArabic poetry$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a751.7/3/0956959 700 $aFowden$b Garth$0442889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248228803316 996 $aQusayr 'Amra$91689543 997 $aUNISA
