Paintings and book arts of the Deccan, long undervalued in relation to other types of South Asian painting, are today widely acknowledged to be among the region’s highest artistic accomplishments. This session will cover the emergence of Deccani painting and its roots, examine some of its most intriguing manifestations in the 16th and 17th centuries, and address what makes this form of South Asian painting unique and important.
