From India's greatest art historian, B.N. Goswamy, comes the definitive book on understanding and appreciating Indian painting. Featuring an illuminating introductory essay that explains the themes and emotions that inspired Indian painters, and the values and influences that shaped their work, this book will both educate and delight the reader. Containing 101 great works, carefully selected by Professor Goswamy and spanning nearly a thousand years, it unlocks the treasures that lie within them and shows us how to read each painting, recounting the story, legend or event that inspired it.
