Exploring the topic of narrativity in Indian art, this beautiful
and deeply researched book considers illustrations to the Bhagavata
Purana, the Ramayana, the Ragamala, and a range of texts in the
Persian language, notably the Shahnama. Featuring stunning
reproductions of paintings made between the sixteenth and
nineteenth centuries from the Edwin Binney 3rd Collection at The
San Diego Museum of Art, the publication includes thorough and
fascinating explanations of the narrative of each text, including
how that narrative is visually conveyed. Essays examine why these
particular stories are so enduring, why patrons may have chosen to
have a copy of a particular text made for their own collections,
and how artists responded to the challenge of creating new versions
of venerable classics. Distributed for The San Diego Museum of Art
