Indian art has evolved over millennia, with early themes emerging in the Harappan period around 2500 BC. Major developments include the arrival of Indo-Europeans introducing new ideas around 1500 BC, the rise of Buddhism around 500 BC bringing new themes, and influence from Alexander's conquests in the 320s BC. The Gupta period saw the carving of the Ajanta and Ellora caves between the 2nd-6th centuries AD depicting Buddhist scenes. Islamic influence from around 1000 AD brought new styles like miniature paintings. Indian art reflects its diversity of cultures and acceptance of outside influences, which it has blended into its traditions over time.Famous indian artists and their paintings.pptx

A MINIATURE PAINTING OF MEDIVAL PERIOD
INTRODUCTION
Indian painting has a very long tradition and history in Indian art.
The earliest Indian paintings were the rock paintings of pre-historic times, the petroglyphs as found in places like Bhimbetka , some of them from before 5500 BC.
India's Buddhist literature is replete with examples of texts which describe palaces of the army and the aristocratic class embellished with paintings, but the paintings of the Ajanta Caves are the most significant of the few survivals.
Indian paintings provide an aesthetic continuum that extends from the early civilisation to the present day.
From being essentially religious in purpose in the beginning, Indian painting has evolved over the years to become a fusion of various cultures and traditions.

Mughal miniature paintingSrikanta Goswami

Mugal painting is a particular style of South Asian, particularly Indian painting confined to miniatures either as book illustrations or as single works to be kept in albums (muraqqa). It emerged from Persian miniature painting (itself partly of Chinese origin) and developed in the court of the Mughal Empire of the 16th to 18th centuries. The Mughal emperors were Muslims and they are credited with consolidating Islam in South Asia, and spreading Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith.[1]
Mughal painting immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums, and were more realistically depicted. Although many classic works of Persian literature continued to be illustrated, as well as Indian works, the taste of the Mughal emperors for writing memoirs or diaries, begun by Babur, provided some of the most lavishly decorated texts, such as the Padshahnama genre of official histories. Subjects are rich in variety and include portraits, events and scenes from court life, wild life and hunting scenes, and illustrations of battles. The Persian tradition of richly decorated borders framing the central image (mostly trimmed in the images shown here) was continued, as was a modified form of the Persian convention of an elevated viewpoint.

The Mughal painting style later spread to other Indian courts, both Muslim and Hindu, and later Sikh, and was often used to depict Hindu subjects. This was mostly in northern India. It developed many regional styles in these courts, tending to become bolder but less refined. Famous indian painters

Sculpture and relief art were major artistic traditions in Southeast Asia between 300-1200 CE. Sculpture was heavily influenced by Indian styles of the Gupta period and depicted Buddha figures in a pure and delicate style. Monumental reliefs decorated Hindu and Buddhist temples, most notably at Borobudur in Java and Angkor Wat in Cambodia, depicting religious and narrative scenes. Painting is less well preserved by climate but frescoes depicted Buddhist and Hindu themes and the Sigiriya frescoes in Sri Lanka provide examples of the style. Overall, Indian cultural and religious influences through kingdoms and trade shaped the dominant art forms of sculpture and relief across Southeast Asia.Art culture l3_ishani_paintings_dance_puppetry

Periodic Styles in Indian Traditional Art showcase the rich cultural heritage and artistic excellence that has evolved over centuries. Among these, three prominent styles stand out: Mughal, Kangra, and Miniature. Each style reflects distinct influences, techniques, and thematic representations, contributing to the diverse tapestry of Indian art.
1. **Mughal Art:**
Mughal art flourished during the Mughal Empire (16th to 18th centuries) under the patronage of emperors like Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan. It is characterized by its intricate detailing, vivid colors, and a fusion of Persian, Islamic, and Indian styles. Mughal paintings often depict historical events, court scenes, flora, fauna, and portraits of rulers and nobility. Artists employed techniques like meticulous brushwork, precise draftsmanship, and the extensive use of gold leaf to create opulent and lifelike compositions.
2. **Kangra Art:**
Kangra painting originated in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh during the 17th to 19th centuries. It embodies the serene beauty of nature, love, and devotion. Kangra paintings are renowned for their delicate lines, pastel hues, and ethereal imagery, often depicting scenes from Hindu mythology, particularly the love stories of Radha and Krishna. Artists of Kangra school mastered the art of portraying emotions through subtle facial expressions and graceful gestures. The use of natural pigments derived from minerals and plants imparts a soft and luminous quality to these exquisite works of art.
3. **Miniature Art:**
Miniature painting is a meticulous and intricate art form that reached its pinnacle during the Mughal and Rajput periods (16th to 19th centuries). Miniatures are characterized by their diminutive size and elaborate detailing. Artists employed fine brushes, often made from squirrel hair, to create miniature masterpieces on materials such as paper, ivory, or cloth. Themes ranged from courtly scenes, religious narratives, and portraits to landscapes and flora. Miniatures are distinguished by their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the artist's skill and imagination within a confined space.
These Periodic Styles in Indian Traditional Art not only serve as visual representations of history, culture, and mythology but also as enduring testaments to the artistic genius and creativity of Indian artisans through the ages. Each style encapsulates its own unique blend of techniques, themes, and aesthetics, contributing to the rich tapestry of India's artistic heritage.
