Beschrijving boek
The richness and fascination of Indian Art has enthralled scholars and travellers for more than 2000 years.
The civilization of India, one of the oldest and most continuous in the history of man, has been dominated by its three great faiths; Hindu, Buddhist and Jain. Indian Art, sustained by a consistent aesthetic theory, reflects the sublety and variety of India religious and philosophical thought.
In her scholarly and lucid text, Mademoisselle Marguerite-Marie Deneck, Assistant Keeper of the Musée Guimet, Paris, introduces to us the many aspects of the art of India; works of originality and charm - from the sensual, lyrical sculptures and exquisite gold jewellery, fashioned by anonymous craftsmen, to the classically serene Greek-inspired statues following the conquest of Alexander the Great, and the ornate and romantic miniature paintings of the period of Mughal domination.
Imbued with a love for life and delight in nature, the exotic beauty of India Art is illustrated here in 48 pages of full colour.
