Product Description
Imagine if half the paintings of the Italian Renaissance had never been photographed until now. How great a revelation would a book presenting those works be? That is the perfect analog for the achievement that is Indian Painting: The Great Mural Tradition, the first complete survey of classical Indian wall painting ever published. Author Mira Seth, the world's leading scholar on the subject, has personally visited all of the major sites featured in this book, from the temples of South India, the Deccan, where the world-famous Ajanta and Ellora caves are located, to Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir in the north. This book gives an in-depth analysis of the interconnections not only between different schools of painting but also the sister arts of sculpture and architecture. By putting each work in this lavishly illustrated volume in its political and geographical context, Seth creates the groundbreaking panoramic look at Indian wall painting the art world has long needed.

Stunning November 9, 2006
Vishan Seenath (Florida)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is absolutely stunning. All the photos are full color and brilliantly printed. No tiny little photos here, which adds to the considerable size of the book. Most of the images I have never seen anywhere else, the author Mira Seth received permission from various archaeological and art institutes in India to use photos and slides. The history and analysis of the styles is interesting as well, again on things not usually found in other books. A must have for an art book collection.
