Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The Bagh caves along with Ajanta are the most treasured illumination of ancient Indian art. From the school which these paintings represent was the source and fountain head from which of the art of Asia drew its inspiration, and no one can study their rhythmic composition their instinctive beauty of line, the majestic grace of their figures, and the boundless wealth of their decorative imagery without realizing what a far reaching influence they exerted on the art, not of Indian alone and her colonies, but of every other country to which the religion of the Buddha penetrated. The Caves of Bagh have already been made known to the world by three descriptive articles, the first by Lieutenant Dangerfield, the second by Dr. E. Impany and the third by Colonel C.E. Luard in the Indian Antiquity. The Caves of Bagh so called from the neighboring village of the name are situated among the southern slopes of the Vindhya hills in what is now the Amjhera district of the Gwalior state. The cliff side in which they are excavated rises some 150 feet above the Bagh river and is remarkable as being the only out crop of sandstone in an otherwise basaltic region. Above the sandstone, however is superimposed a deep band of claystone and it is probably to the excessive weight of this band, and to the moisture percolating from it that most of the damage in the caves is due.
