Mathura's 'personality' and the development of narrative art. This anthology represents papers most characteristic of the author's investigative strengths and methods in the domains of Indian art history and indology. The selected papers were published between 1979 and 2015. In numerous cases, the large time span covered by these papers has been brought up-to-date. New information reflects developments in the field or in the author's thinking, and it is noted by an asterisk at the end of a given paper. The sixteen papers in Volume I fall within four main themes: Saiva, Vaisnava, Secular and Folk Themes as well as Narrative Art. Within these broad categories, analyses and interpretations range across a wide spectrum: Indus Valley material, early sectarian sculpture, temple architecture, miniature paintings, Vedic ritual construction. Most of the topics treat the art in the context of the culture of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, that is, India above the Vindhya Mountains. The author's studies on the arts beyond this region, comprising the arts from Gandhara, will form the contents of Volume II. Some specific topics advanced in this volume are: the likely Vedic origin of Rudra-Siva; the meaning and significance of Saiva and Vaisnava icons with the multiplicity convention; Krsna's Pre Puranic imagery from Mathura; a new attribute associated with Samkarsana/Balarama; the importance of courtesans in ancient India and a newly recognized statue of one beauty; icons attesting to ancient Snake cults; understanding the artistic consequences of Mathura's emphasis on the oral transmission of sacred knowledge. Scholars and students alike will be stimulated by the findings and methodology found in this volume.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2007 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear, inscription inside cover else very good condition. From the cover: South Asian religious art became codified during the Kusaṇa Period (ca. beginning of the 2nd to the mid 3rd century). Yet, to date, neither the chronology nor nature of Kusaṇa Art, marked by great diversity, is well understood. The Kusaṇa Empire was huge, stretching from Uzbekistan through northern India, and its multicultural artistic expressions became the fountainhead for much of South Asian Art. The premise of this book is that Kusaṇa Art achieves greater clarity through analyses of the arts and cultures of the Pre- Kusaṇa World, those lands becoming the Empire. Fourteen papers in this book by leading experts on regional topography and connective pathways; interregional, multicultural comparisons; art historical, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic and textual studies represent the first coordinated effort having this focus.

Passages to India: Saka and Kusana Migrations in Historical Contexts by Jason Neelis 4. Numismatic Evidence for a Chronological Framework for Pre-Kaniskan Art, from Kalchayan to Gandhara by David W.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One of the first things that strike the Western viewer of Indian art is the multiplicity of heads, arms and eyes. This convention grows out of imagery conceived by Vedic sages to explain creation. This book for the first time investigates into the meaning of this convention. The author concentrates on its origins in Hindu art and on preceding textual references to the phenomenon of multiplicity. The first part establishes a general definition for the convention. Examination of all Brahmanical literature up to, and sometimes beyond, the 1st - 3rd century A.D., adds more information to this basic definition. The second part applies this literary information mainly to icons of the Yaksa, Siva, Vasudeva-Kr?sn?a and the Goddess, and indicates how Brahmanical cultural norms, exemplified in Mathura, can transmit textual symbols. Both Part I and Part II provide iconic modules and a methodology to generate interpretations for icons with this remarkable feature through the Gupta age.…
