In this magnificent, lavishly illustrated book, renowned art
historian B. N. Goswamy opens readers' eyes to the wonders of
Indian painting, and shows them new ways of seeing art. An
illuminating introductory essay, `A Layered World', explains the
themes and emotions that inspired famous painters, the values and
influences that shaped their work, and the unique ways in which
they depicted Time and Space. It describes, too, the different
regional styles, the relationship between patrons and painters, the
tools and techniques the painters used and the milieu in which they
created their works. The second part of this book, `Close
Encounters with 101 Works', presents paintings carefully selected
by Professor Goswamy, spanning nearly a thousand years and ranging
from Jain manuscripts and Rajasthani, Mughal, Pahari and Deccani
miniatures, to Company School paintings. His description and
analysis of these works unlock the treasures that lie within them
and show us how to `read' each painting as he pours out its finest
features, explains its visual vocabulary and symbolism, and
recounts the story, legend or event that inspired it. Combining
deep scholarship with great storytelling, this is a book of
enduring value that will both educate and delight the reader.
