A visual and intellectul treat awaits the reader of this book which ranges from Monumental architecture, sumptuours textiles, a flood of the fines miniature painting down to exquisitely crafted objects of jade - all marked by a common aesthetic coherence that is hallmark of Mughal style.
Analyzing influences that constitutes this style - the Central Asian inheritance, the artistic practices of Persia, and the incalculable rich tradition of India - the book also examines the various materials and techniques through which the Mughal gave expression to their artistic impluse, drawing on the finest pieces of Mutghal art in public and private collections in India, Europe and the US. Representing a period of some three centuries, these works have retained their unparalleled beauty and sophistication.
A major section identifies and illustrates the dominant theme of Mughal Art - the all pervading presence of geometry, whether in a mosque or a bejewelled mirror - back; the ingenious use of the arabesque to achieve patterns of dizzing complexity; the relatively austere but sublime effect of calligraphy. On building or on manuscript pages; the pre-ponderance of flowers in all manners of stone or cloth or metal ornaments of tations; and the frequent appearance of animals and birds to signify the omnipresence of nature. The themes are illustrated by brilliant photographs whose effect is further heightened by a succession of dazzling gatefolds. A historical context aids in the understanding of the Mughal decorative arts, best described as an embarrassment of riches.
