Pahari Painting: The Family as the Basis of Style
| Title: | Pahari Painting: The Family as the Basis of Style | | Author: | Goswamy, B.N. | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 21 Issue no. 4; September 1968, p. 17-62 | | Abstract: | The essay reconstructs the genealogy of the Guler family of painters headed by Pandit Seu on the basis of inscriptional evidence. It also traces the development of the painting style of this family through succeeding generations. The style falls into two distinct phases: in the second quarter of the 18th century it followed the Basohli style; from the mid-18th century it proceeded towards the Kangra style. The paintings show Mughal influence. The stages of stylistic development are defined in terms of various miniature sets ascribed to the sons of Pandit Seu (Manaku and Nainsukh) and their descendents. The early and later sets of paintings are stylistically linked, and signed pictures by members of the family are dated up to the second half of the 19th century.
