About the Book
Indian Miniatures: Court and Courtship – A Visual Tapestry of Royal Splendor
Step into the enchanting world of Indian miniature paintings, where art and history intertwine in a mesmerizing display of courtly elegance, regal power, and poetic romance. In Indian Miniatures: Court and Courtship, renowned scholar J. Br. Losty explores both the celebrated masterpieces and the hidden gems of Indian miniature art, beautifully curated from the remarkable collection of textile connoisseurs Praful and Shilpa Shah.
Beginning with a magnificent 16th-century Rajput Bhagavata Purana painting, this book takes readers on a visual odyssey through Mughal courts, Rajasthani palaces, Deccan dynasties, and the grandeur of Northern India. Emperors, princes, noble courtiers, and majestic royal elephants and horses come to life through the vibrant brushstrokes of master artists.
The book is adorned with resplendent portraits of noblewomen, draped in exquisite 18th and 19th-century attire, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the world of timeless fashion and opulence. It also showcases paintings selected for their breathtaking depictions of textiles and costumes, from jamas and paijamas to intricate angarkhas, turbans, patkas, and embroidered canopies.
Adding to its richness, the book highlights extraordinary illustrations from India’s classical literary treasures, including the Ragamala, the Shanghai Ramayana, the Gita Govinda, Harivamsa, and Rasikapriya. Two masterpieces from Nathdwara, created by the legendary Sukhdev Gaur and Ghasiram Sharma, serve as a crowning jewel in this stunning compilation.
