Garden and Cosmos – Catalogue Review

Posted by Frances Spiegel Jun 29, 2009

The British Museum's latest exhibition features 54 paintings loaned by the Mehrangarh Museum Trust in Jodhpur, India. This utterly spectacular exhibition is recorded in a remarkable catalogue.

The publication explores the art of the Marwar court of Jodhpur between the 17th and mid-19th Centuries and features all the items displayed in the exhibition.

This luxurious catalogue also contains the results of recent research into the paintings of the Rathore dynasty of Marwar and the Jodhpur-Marwar school of painting. It offers an entirely new perspective on Indian painting.

To read the full review, see Garden & Cosmos, the Royal Paintings of Jodhpur.

The 337-page catalogue is published by the British Museum Press (2009), priced £30.00, (ISBN 978 0 7141 2458 2).
