Stanza di Damasco

dated 1119 AH/1707 CE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 461
La stanza di Damasco proviene da un’abitazione della nobiltà siriana del periodo ottomano (1516-1918). Com’era tradizione nei paesi islamici, queste stanze erano riservate al padrone di casa e ai suoi ospiti. L’anticamera contiene una fontana inserita in un pavimento di marmo dai colori vivaci. I pannelli di legno riccamente dipinti, le imposte per le finestre e le ante degli armadi, presentano disegni in rilievo, iscrizioni poetiche in arabo e illustrazioni architettoniche. Le nicchie aperte ospitavano libri ed altri oggetti. Le alte finestre dalle vetrate colorate inserite nella parte a stucco lasciavano filtrare una luce colorata, mentre le grate delle finestre inferiori lasciavano passare l’aria fresca.
