For decades, art historical studies of Deccani art were few and far
between. Only in recent years has scholarly interest grown,
resulting in major advances in our knowledge of the region's
cultural achievements. The 2015 exhibition Sultans of Deccan India,
1500-1700: Opulence and Fantasy at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
New York was a stimulus for further research. To honour this
exhibition and the scholarship it embodied, The Aesthetics Project
arranged a symposium Nauras: The Many Arts of the Deccan in January
2015 and co-sponsored an exhibition of the National Museum's
Deccani artefacts. The proposed volume brings together
contributions from the symposium, the exhibition and beyond, to
give a sense of emergent research in the arts of the Deccani
sultanates. An important feature of the essays is the emphasis on
synaesthesia: where a history of art encompasses experiences that
are beautiful not just to the eye, but to the ear and the nose. The
book will give readers new information about cultural
manifestations and insights into new interdisciplinarities within
the field of art history.
