It includes Jain paintings from various collections in India and abroad to underscore the value of pictorial evidence in piecing together the past. The book takes the reader on a breath-taking visual journey through the varied costumes, exquisite textiles, handcrafted ornaments, curiously shaped vessels and containers, musical instruments, arms and armours, conveyances, and many such articles of everyday use. These articles of everyday use are corroborated with the descriptions left by foreign travellers, passing through Western India at that time. It explores contemporary lexicons and vernacular literature from this period, for possible names in vogue for the articles of material culture. The work is richly illustrated with line drawings by the author to highlight the objects being referred to. What comes across clearly through this book is that art is the mirror of the times and as such, paintings reflect the society in which it is created. A magnificent read, this book will be essential for scholars and researchers of Indian Painting, Art history, Indian Art, Arts and Aesthetics, Jainism, visual arts, South Asian history, Indian history, heritage studies, and cultural history. It will also be a must have for history and visual arts enthusiasts all over the world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Jaina miniature painting. 650 0 $a Miniature painting, Medieval $z India. 650 0 $a Material culture $z India $x History. 650 0 $a Art and society $z India $x History. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Jaina miniature painting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00981194 650 7 $a Material culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011739 650 7 $a Miniature painting, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01022757 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Maitra, Lipika. $t Jain paintings and material culture of medieval western India $d Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2024 $z 9781003415282 $w (DLC) 2023006869 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4695A64141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
