A survey of the stunningly beautiful visual and decorative arts
created by India's Deccan kingdoms In the 16th and 17th centuries,
the Deccan plateau of south-central India was home to a series of
important, highly cultured Muslim kingdoms and was a nexus of
international trade. Invigorated by cultural connections to Iran,
Turkey, East Africa, and Europe, Deccani art is celebrated for its
unmistakable, otherworldly character: in painting, a poetic
lyricism; in architecture, a somber grandeur; and in the decorative
arts, lively creations in inlaid metalwork and dyed textiles. This
beautifully illustrated catalogue, which includes extraordinary new
site photographs and lush landscape images, along with discussions
of 200 of the finest Deccani works, creates the most comprehensive
examination to date of this fascinating and remote world. The text
not only discusses paintings, drawings, textiles, arms,
manuscripts, and other decorative arts from this rich culture, but
also explores the history, architecture, literature, and music of
the period. Essays by prominent international authors, supplemented
by informative maps, illustrated appendices, and select primary
sources, make this pioneering book a key resource on the subject.
