About the Book
Ruminations: A Master Chronicler’s Final Gift to Art
"A pioneer who brought out the poetry in art." —Mint Lounge
B.N. Goswamy (1933–2023), one of India’s most celebrated art historians, dedicated his life to unveiling the rich, intricate world of Indian and South Asian art. His writing was not just scholarly but deeply evocative, making art history accessible to all. In Ruminations, his final masterpiece, Goswamy wanders through time and cultures, illuminating forgotten artistic traditions and hidden gems of history.
From vanishing artisans’ guilds in Europe to Mughal ensigns of royalty, from the pioneering maps of Turkish admiral Piri Reis to Tibetan sand mandalas, Goswamy’s essays traverse the vast landscape of human creativity. He breathes life into La Fontaine’s fables illustrated in Lahore, the Jain legend of Ilaputra, and the exquisite embroideries of the Calico Museum—each chapter a window into a world both distant and deeply resonant.
Lucid, engaging, and profoundly insightful, Ruminations is more than a book—it is a definitive tribute to the art and history of India and beyond, a final offering from a scholar who transformed the way we see art.
