In this book the author sets Rajput painting in its historical and art – historical background, looking at local styles in the principalities of Rajasthan, Central India and the Punjab. She explores the themes – mainly taken from the folk tales and epic literature, erotic and religious poems, myths, legends and music – as well as the influence of Mughal painting and the importance of the cult of Krishna. The illustrations taken mainly from the superb collection of British Museum and the British Library, include many previously unpublished images, allowing a rare insight into this world of colour and romance.
