The book entitled The Westernimtion of Indian Art, apparently looks as not being exhaustively dealt with. The case is somewhat different. The book has taken care of all the aspects of the subject concerned and has been written with p precise understanding, in depth analysis and is written basing on logical premises. The idea has been to avoid unnecessary details and to attract its readers with the pointed conclusions. The book includes a summary survey of the history of Indian paintings, a historical backdrop of Company paintings, a discussion on the techniques, adopted in their paintings, the themes and the centres of Company paintings, the artists of the said school. A special light is thrown on Company Paintings of Banaras indicating its impact on the wall paintings of the city. A curious reader would find in this book all materials on Company Paintings and a number of facts not reflected earlier on any article or in any book on this area.
