Description
The Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company By William Dalrymple, published 28 January 2020. This book celebrates the work of extraordinary Indian artists who created hybrid paintings commissioned by British patrons between the 1770s and 1857. Edited by William Dalrymple, these masterpieces showcase the beauty of the Indian natural world and the social realities of the time, often with astonishing brilliance and originality. They represent a forgotten moment in Anglo-Indian history where Indian artists responded to European influences while maintaining their own artistic visions. These paintings, created over two centuries ago, are a testament to the last phase of Indian artistic genius before the onset of photography and Western colonial art schools. The greatest of these painters deserve recognition as among the most remarkable Indian artists of all time. This book sheds light on a pivotal moment in history, offering a unique glimpse into the lives and works of these talented artists. With 100 masterpieces on display, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in Indian art, history, or the cultural exchange between East and West during the late 18th century.
