“Wonderful . . . A book to make both layman and connoisseur alike realize why pre-modern Indian painting is one of the great arts of the world.” ―Neil MacGregor Through close encounters with over a hundred carefully selected works, spanning nearly a thousand years, and ranging from Jain manuscripts and Pahari and Mughal miniatures to Company School paintings, B. N. Goswamy unlocks the many treasures that lie within Indian painting. In an illuminating introduction, and as Goswamy relates the stories behind each work and deciphers the visual vocabulary and language of the painters, he brings to life the cultural, social, and political milieu in which they were created. Lavishly illustrated, and combining erudition with great storytelling, The Spirit of Indian Painting reveals the beauty of this richly varied body of work in a new and brilliant light. 210 illustrations

Manuscripts illustrate multiple aspects of a nation’s identity--its history, thought, imagination and not least its will to preserve these things for posterity. The manuscripts that appear in this book come from all corners of India from the most important public and private collections and span a period of almost two millennia of Indian cultural history. A range of theoretical systems, scripts, languages, calligraphies, illuminations, illustrations and materials used in the creation of manuscripts, are all explored in such a way as to produce a lasting impression of India as a multicultural society that holds knowledge and knowledge systems in high regard. The book includes over 180 color and black and white illustrations.
