This splendidly illustrated publication features over 90 important
paintings from the predominantly Hindu Rajput tradition of Indian
painting, and are highlights from the Kronos Collection, one of the
finest holdings of Indian art. These remarkable works-most of them
published and illustrated here for the first time-were painted
between the 16th and 18th centuries for the Indian royal courts in
Rajastan and the Punjab Hills. Many of the paintings are
characterized by their brilliant colors and vivid depictions of
scenes from Hindu epics, mystical legends, and courtly life. Along
with an informative entry for every work and a personal essay by
expert and collector Steven M. Kossak, the book contains an
extensive essay by Terence McInerney that outlines the history of
Indian painting, with a special emphasis on the Rajput courts, and
provides an overview of the subject with fresh insights and
interpretations.
