Description: Paintings on paper and silk, mostly copies of paintings originating in the Moghul period.
Kalarte. Art from India. Paintings on paper from Rajasthan. Description. These pictures are contemporary paintings, in water-based paint and ink on paper, done in Rajasthan, a desert state in the West of India. They are mostly copies of the style (and in at least a few cases, approximate copies of actual paintings) of Mughal paintings of the 17th century or of Pahari paintings of the 18th century. These were mostly courtly paintings. The former were done at the courts of the Islamic Mughal emperors in several of their capitals in north India (though not in Rajasthan), or in the courts of their tributary kings (some of which were in Rajasthan). The latter (i.e., Pahari or "hill country") were done for the Hindu courts in the hilly areas of northwest India (part of which is now Pakistan) after the disintegration of the Mughal empire, when the artists (many of whom were Hindu) left the Mughal capitals with the loss of artistic patronage and migrated to the smaller courts of the Hindu rajas.
