Indian Art of The Gupta Age: From Pre-Classical Roots to the Emergence of Medieval Trends

Shankar Goyal (Editor)

S.R. Goyal (Editor)

Synopsis The Gupta period was admittedly the classical or Golden period of Indian history when ancient Indian culture saw efflorescence in almost all aspects of life, including architecture, sculpture and painting. The art of this period has been a subject of study since the beginning of indological studies in modern times. The present monograph is the recent-most effort in this direction, but with a difference in approach and treatment. Firstly, it contains the fruits of the latest researches of some of the greatest authorities on the subject, including Professors Frederick M. Asher, Walter M. Spink, B.G. Gokhale, P.K. Agrawala, (the late) K.D. Bajpai, M.K. Dhavalikar, S.N. Chaturvedi and Dr. S.P. Gupta, apart from the contribution of the editors themselves. Secondly, despite being the result of the cooperation of numerous scholars of India and abroad, it has a unity in treatment of the subject, for its seeks to trace the beginning of the Gupta art from its pre-classical roots and after discussing its ideological background and various aspects, it goes on to delineate its transformation by the impact of the early medieval tendencies. Thus it provides a complete study of the Indian art of the Gupta Age.
