Book Description
This volume is the first of two devoted to the museum's Indian paintings. The works shown here, created between 1000 and 1700, are divided into six sections: Buddhist manuscript illumination from Eastern India, Jain and Hindu painting, and Islamic, Mughal, and Deccani painting and calligraphy. Each of the 115 paintings is reproduced, many with additional details; each is discussed in terms of iconography, style, and history.
