In 1952, by sheer chance, a bundle of paintings wrapped in cloth were
found dumped in the corner of an old fort in
Kishangarh. On inspection they turned out to be one of the great treasures of Indian
art, the Kishangarh miniatures, inspired by the divine lovers Radha
and Krishna, and lost to the world for over 200 years.
Flawless artistry, spiritual yearning, and eternal love and devotion all
combine in the sublime
|
mysticism of the Kishangarh school of art. It
is recognized as the very pinnacle of the vast scope of Indian art
and acclaimed by connoisseurs around the world.
In 1778 the great exponent of the art of miniature painting, Nihal
Chand, created the legendary face of the Kishangarh
Radha, the quintessence of Indian womanhood and grace.
