Qusayr 'Amra: Art and the Umayyad Elite in Late Antique Syria - Transformation of the Classical Heritage

From the stony desolation of Jordan's desert, it is but a step through a doorway into the bath house of the Qusayr 'Amra hunting lodge. Inside, multicolored frescoes depict scenes from courtly life and the hunt, along with musicians, dancing girls, and naked bathing women.
