In India  two artistic traditions converged. The indigenous Rajput culture produced exuberant  vibrantly colored  boldly patterned illustrations of Hindu myths and epics. The entirely different art of the Islamic Mughal invaders  subtle and naturalistic  mainly presented elegant scenes of court life and history. From the cross-fertilization of these two traditions  a multiplicity of highly original painting styles blossomed and flourished. While works of art originating in Mughal and Rajput courts are often treated separately  in this book paintings made in the major Mughal  Deccani  Rajput  and Pahari workshops are presented together  chronologically. Eighty-three exceptionally fine paintings are reproduced in full color. Each is accompanied by a paragraph explaining the subject illustrated and pointing out particular qualities of style. The rich  remarkable court paintings of India are splendidly offered to the readers eye and mind in this book  which also includes a map  enlarged detail photographs  and a selected bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651951124533,"sku":"ByrdShop_0870997823","price":107.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780870997822.jpg?v=1781847130","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/indian-court-painting-16th19th-century-9780870997822","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
