Featuring 16 Indian paintings dating from the late 17th to the 18th centuries, this exhibition highlights works from the IMAs Asian collection and a selection of paintings from a Panchatantra series painted at Udaipur, on loan from a private collection. The Panchatantra is based on an ancient Indian oral tradition that uses tales to teach life lessons. They are often illustrated by anthropomorphized animals, similar to Aesops Fables. Shown for the first time together, the works in Fabled Kings represent the vivid and varied tradition of Indian narrative painting. Rotation begins on 3/10/2014.
No photography is available for this exhibition.
