Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Indian subcontinent offers an extraordinary visual feast. Considering Indian art within a chronological framework, Vidya Dehejia analyses the great cities of the Indus civilization, the serene Buddha image, the intriguing art of cave sites, the sophisticated temple-building traditions, the luxurious art of the Mughal court, the palaces and pavilions of Rajasthan, the churches of Portuguese Goa, the various forms of art in the British Raj and the issues related to taking Indian art into the twenty-first century.

Using a contextual approach, this book considers the meaning of the word art in the Indian cultural mileau, the relationship between the subcontinent\'s religious traditions, the status of artists, and the impact of trade and travel on artistic development.
