Book excerpt: The Mughal school of miniature painting flourished in northern India in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, chiefly under the patronage of the emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan. Rooted in a diversity of cultural, religious and artistic traditions, it became one of the richest and most productive schools in the whole history of Islamic art.

He describes the historical setting in which the Mughal artists worked and the materials and techniques they used to create their brilliant effects. The paintings reproduced here cover the whole range of Mughal miniature art, from manuscript illustrations of biographical, historical or mythological works to courtly portrait albums, with both human and animal subject.

Book excerpt: "This book traces the development of Indian miniature painting from the Bagh caves to the Sikh school. Progressing chronologically, the author analyses the works of each school or rather the centre where various trends in art would either be transformed or gain prominence, or disappear depending upon the prevalent style. The miniatures often provide true records of the social and cultural life of the time. Working even in conventional forms, the Indian miniaturists have captured the spirit and mood of the subject matter in minutest details--the romance and passion of lovers, the frolics of Radha and Krishna, the royal splendour of the princes, the valor and courage on the battlefields, etc. The eighty beautiful miniatures reproduced, sixty-two of them in colour, show the originality of their subject matter, their vibrant colours and refined treatment of details."--book jacket.

Book excerpt: This portfolio of a group of Indian miniature paintings by Nainsukh of Guler, a remarkable Indian painter of the 18th century, features thirty works--including preliminary sketches, drawings, paintings, and large-size scrolls--from an exhibition shown in the Haus zum Kiel in Zurich, and later at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, DC, are featured here. "What is extraordinary about Nainsukh is the fact that he depicted the day-to-day life and perhaps even the dreams of a prince who was neither a well-known statesman nor a man of great means, but a connoisseur of the arts. Balwant Singh is often rendered watching dancers or listening to music. Even the interest the patron took in architecture is amply documented by drawings showing him inside buildings of supervising their construction. " -- From the Introduction

Download or read book Watson Collection of Indian Miniatures at the Elvehjem Museum of Art written by Gautamavajra Vajrācārya and published by Chazen Museum of Art. This book was released on 2002 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing a rich historical and religious context, Gautama V. Vajracharya offers an original, nuanced study of the iconography of Indian miniature paintings. Providing an extended analysis of 129 art works catalogued in this book, he explicates the gradual development and interrelationship of two styles of Indic miniature painting from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries: one commissioned by the Muslim Mughal rulers and the other by Hindu Rajput princes. He shows that belief systems reflected in ancient Indian art continued to be expressed, whether consciously or not, in later Indian miniature paintings and in other artistic forms well into the nineteenth century.
