Explore extraordinary masterpieces of Indian painting, together with the exhibition catalogue and afternoon tea for two.
Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company is the first UK exhibition of works by Indian master painters commissioned by East India Company officials in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Curated by renowned writer and historian William Dalrymple, it is an unprecedented opportunity to see these vivid and highly original paintings together for the first time, recognising them as among the greatest masterpieces of Indian painting.
Comprising works from a wide variety of Indian traditions, the exhibition moves the emphasis from the Company men commissioning the works onto the brilliance of the Indian creators, and sheds light on a forgotten moment in Anglo-Indian history. Reflecting both the beauty of the natural world and the social reality of the time, these dazzling and often surprising artworks offer a rare glimpse of the cultural fusion between British and Indian artistic styles during this period.
