Visual Arts Download To My Calendar

Through beautiful images, this talk will introduce the Rajputs and the arts they patronized, with an emphasis on manuscript paintings. We will look at the ways that Rajput rulers used art as a way to promote specific ideas about their power, their traditions, and their position in relation to the ruling Mughal emperors, and later the British.

The talk will touch on the ways that the paintings were made and used, and will include some choice examples from The San Diego Museum of Art’s Edwin Binney collection of manuscript illustrations.
