| Title: | Facets of Indian Miniature Painting A Collector's Dream: Indian Art in the collections of Basant Kumar and Saraladevi Birla and the Birla Academy of Art and Culture | | Authors: | Karl Khandalavala and Saryu Doshi (Eds) | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 38-3, p. 77-164 | | Abstract: | There is evidence of wall-paintings in India right from the 1st-2nd century BCE at Ajanta. But the earliest evidence of miniature painting is not to be found till the late 10th century CE in eastern India, in the form of an illustrated palm-leaf manuscript. This article gives an overview of Indian miniature painting from the earliest illustrated manuscripts of the 10th century to the early 19th-century Orissan pothi paintings. A wide range of schools, styles, patrons, paintings, manuscripts, artists, ascriptions, and opinions are discussed. An appendix on the Chunar Ragamala by the writer is included.
