Description:
This book offers an exclusive study of the Jaipur School of Miniature Painting, a distinctive artistic tradition that emerged in the early 18th century under the patronage of Sawai Jai Singh (1699-1743). As Mughal rule declined, many court painters sought refuge in Jaipur, contributing to the development of this unique school, which set itself apart from other Rajasthani genres such as Mewar, Bikaner, and Bundi.
The Jaipur School of Painting flourished for over 150 years, covering both sacred and secular themes while depicting a vibrant panorama of contemporary life, culture, and mythology. While influenced by early Mughal art, Jaipur miniatures remained deeply rooted in tradition, drawing inspiration from Indian mythology, classical literature, and folklore.
Dr. Gita Pratap provides an in-depth analysis of:
- The historical evolution of the Jaipur School.
- Its stylistic elements, motifs, and forms.
- The artists and ateliers behind these masterpieces.
- The interconnections between painting, literature, music, sculpture, and dance.
Based on miniatures from private collections and museums worldwide, the book includes bibliographic references, a glossary of non-English terms, and high-quality color reproductions of Jaipur miniature paintings, making it a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and art enthusiasts.
