Interior with minor signs of wear.; Catalogue from the exhibition Princes, Palaces, and Passion: The Art of India's Mewar Kingdom, presented at the Asian Art Museum- Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture in San Francisco from February 2 through April 29, 2007.; When the nineteenth-century American painter Edwin Lord Weeks arrived at Udaipur, the capital of Mewar in India's Rajasthan region, he found a city "airy, unreal, and fantastic as a dream, stretching away in a seemingly endless perspective of latticed cupolas, domes, turrets, and jutting oriel-windows, rising tier above tier, at a dizzy height from the ground". Few regions of India have so excited the imagination as has the princely state of Mewar, which has been celebrated as the most heroic and illustrious of the Rajput states. Despite this, relatively little writing has been devoted to the innovative artists whose work helped to establish the state's reputation. Princes, Palaces, and Passion: The Art of India's Mewar Kingdom, an exhibition presented at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco from February 2 through April 29, 2007, addressed that deficiency by gathering some seventy four objects encompassing the depth and range of Mewar's artistic achievement. The works range from the early sixteenth century to the twentieth century. At the core is a selection of works that dramatically conveys the brilliance of Mewar painting. The exhibition brings to life some of the great individual Mewari painters - especially Bakhta (fl. 1760-1810) and Chokha (fl. 1799-1824)-who previously have been largely relegated to anonymity. The exhibition also breaks new ground in viewing the art of the court and the art of the village as an integral whole. Through the inclusion of such works as terracotta devotional panels, large devotional paintings on cloth, a storytelling phad, a colorful painted wood storytelling box, and courtly decorative objects, the exhibition highlights some of the many ways in which court, temple, and village were inextricably linked. For this accompanying book, original essays were commissioned from leading scholars these essays represent a significant advancement in scholarship related to Mewar. Exhibition curator Joanna Williams has also written detailed entries for each of the objects on display. The result is a book that gives an intimate sense of an extraordinary place and the remarkable people who created a legacy there, one that continues to fascinate to this day. …
