It was built in the seventeenth century as a tomb for a beloved Mogul empress, but its funerary nature has been overshadowed by its perfection and romance. Although better remembered for his architectural achievements, Shah Jahan, the Mogul emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal, was actually a discerning patron of paintings, decorative objects, and textiles. By examining the record of his wide-ranging connoisseurship, Romance of the Taj Mahal seeks to establish a fuller context for understanding the unique fame of this magnificent monument. There has not previously been an exhibition or book that surveys all the arts created during the reign of Shah Jahan. Thus Romance of the Taj Mahal affords a special opportunity to explore the extraordinary character of the arts from Shah Jahan's reign (1628-58) and their interrelated nature The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which houses one of the most comprehensive collections of Indian art in the world, has long been committed to demonstrating the importance and richness of Indian artistic traditions. This goal has been particularly well served by this multifaceted investigation of an extraordinary period of Indian culture. By including material as varied as drawings by Rembrandt and paintings and photographs by contemporary artists, Romance of the Taj Mahal also provides valuable insight into the ways in which Shah Jahan and the Taj Mahal influenced subsequent generations throughout the world, a fascinating demonstration of the far- ranging power of art." excerpt from the foreword by Earl A. Powell III, Director, Los Angeles County Museum of Art.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The story of how one scholar's experiences in Sri Lanka shaped the contours of the Buddhist visual canon. An early interpreter of Buddhist art to the West, Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy laid the foundation of what would become the South Asian visual canon, particularly through his efforts to understand how Buddhist art emerged and developed. In Making a Canon, Janice Leoshko examines how Coomaraswamy's experience as the director of a mineralogical survey in Sri Lanka shaped his understanding of South Asian art and religion. Along the way, she reveals how Coomaraswamy's distinctive repetition of Sri Lankan visual images in his work influenced the direction of South Asia's canon formation and left a lasting impression on our understanding of Buddhist art.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume explores on the material, social, and ideological aspects of Asoka's reign in light of advances made in archaeology, epigraphy, and numismatics. Thematically divided into three parts, the first to pillars and rocks, which bear his inscriptions. The second part examines the interconnectedness of the edicts, their monumentality, and the different concept of kingship they conveyed. The third part analyses the making of the cultural memory of Asoka and raises pertinent questions crucial for understanding the relationship between the past and the present. The essays outline the importance of Asoka not only for the Indian nation-state but also for the entire Buddhist world of South and South-east Asia. Moving away from conventional periodization of Indian history, it raises important questions on the beginning of history and archaeology in the modern period. The book examines the extent to which nineteenth century initiatives have affected the study of Asoka and his reign. This book will be important for scholars and students of ancient Indian history, particularly those concerned with Asoka and the Mauryas. It will also interest archaeologists and scholars of Buddhist studies.…
