Tuti-Nama / Das Papageienbuch ADEVA Cod. Selecti LV Cleveland Museum of Art und der Blätter aus Privatbesitz
Seller: Bibliotheca Rara GmbH, Münster, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Sehr gut. 200 Exemplare. Vollständige Faksimile-Ausgabe im Originalformat der Handschrift aus dem Cleveland Museum of Art und der Blätter aus Privatbesitz. Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt - Graz. Volumen LV der Reihe Codices Selecti. Inklusive englischsprachigen beigen Kommentar in Leinenn (223 Seiten) (Der Schutzumschlag ist oben leicht eingedrückt). The Mughal style of painting which began in the reign of Akbar (1556-1605) and lasted for almost three hundred years was the most important of Indian styles of its age. In its flourishing days, which covered the reigns of Akbar, Jahangir (1605-28) and, to a lesser extent, that of Shah Jahan (1628-58), its achievements were particularly distinguished, constituting a renaissance which made its influence felt all over India. The style, inaugurated with the 1400 overwhelming illustrations to the Qissa-i Amir Hamza, gives the appearance of having been fully formed at birth, leading early investigators to conclude that it was of Persian origin, the result of artists and artistic influences emanating from that country. This conclusion, however, was never wholly satisfactory, for the style had an originality, vitality, and an inner unity that could not be explained by foreign influences alone. Perhaps the tastes of the patrons had something to do with its distinctiveness, for though the early Mughals were themselves foreigners, the emperor Akbar had ceased to consider himself one. The ever present "Indian environment could also be suggested as the reason for the individuality of the style; but the works of art produced in this environment were of a totally different character, and the connection they may have had with the Mughal style seemed incapable of demonstration. True, the more knowledge was gained regarding pre-Akbar Indian styles, the more plausible they became as one of the sources accounting for the distinctive character of Mughal painting; but conclusive visual proof was still lacking. The illustrated manuscript of the Tuti nama in the Cleveland Museum of Art which forms the subject of this study provides the visual testimony for the connection between previously existing Indian schools and Mughal painting, and also demonstrates how artists trained in indigenous idioms were transformed into practitioners of the Mughal style. In order to fully understand the part played by this unique manuscript in the origin and early development of Mughal painting, it was found necessary to place it in the proper context with respect to both the non-Mughal Indian schools and the early Mughal style and tradition. We therefore propose, at the outset, to give a brief account of what little we know of painting and patronage in the reign of Babar and Humayun, followed with an account, admittedly as yet quite sketchy, of non-Mughal Indian painting traditions current during their times and earlier (ca. 1450-1550) and then a description of the Mughal style proper as it flourished early in the reign of Akbar, its founder. The appropriate context being thus provided, we will proceed to give a fairly detailed account of the Cleveland Tuti-nama, for only then will it become possible for us to appreciate its correct place in the origin and evolution of Mughal painting. In adopting this approach, we may sometimes give the impression of wandering afield: but this has, in a sense, been imposed on us by the paucity of adequate publications on the subject. This, together with the limited and uncertain nature of the knowledge available to scholars of Indian painting of this period, has made it necessary to sketch, in some instances for the first time, preliminary outlines of styles of painting intimately connected with our study of the Tuti-nama. Without doing this, it would be impossible to come to grips with the fascinating problems presented by this crucial manuscript. Sprache: Deutsch 25 x 19 cm, Braune Ganzlederausgabe.
