ABSTRACT

This paper presents a study and analysis of no-longer extant paintings found originally inside the sixteenth century domed arcade which framed the Holy sanctuary in Mecca. It interlinks information obtained through technical analysis of samples taken from these paintings, with information about the history of the arcade. Beyond providing a brief history of this understudied domed arcade, the research yields information about the production of their paintings and the range of materials used and is intended to shed light on the oldest section of the Holy Mosque in Mecca. Information surrounding the dismantling, conservation, and partial reintegration of this arcade back into the expanded courtyard in Mecca’s holy sanctuary is also provided.

摘要

本文介绍了对最初在 16 世纪圆顶拱廊内发现的不再存在的绘画的研究和分析，该拱廊构成了麦加的圣殿。它将通过对从这些画作中提取的样本进行技术分析获得的信息与有关拱廊历史的信息联系起来。除了提供这个未被充分研究的圆顶拱廊的简要历史外，该研究还提供了有关其绘画制作和所用材料范围的信息，旨在阐明麦加圣清真寺最古老的部分。还提供了有关该拱廊的拆除、保护和部分重新融入麦加圣殿扩建庭院的信息。
