He does a sensitive, subtle job of reframing the argument by focusing attention back on the artists, who fashioned a captivating hybrid style that drew on European and Mughal models. --Alastair Sooke, The Daily Telegraph

I loved the book ! Beautiful illustration. Thanks .
5.0 out of 5 stars Great catalogue not a great show
I loved the exhibition organised by William Dalrymple at the Wallage Gallery and this catalogue of the show is one to keep and enjoy for many year to come. I gave the book to a friend who also admires the skill and beauty of these Indian painters and he loved it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Next best thing to going to Wallace Collection London
Being interested in India I was disappointed to find the Exhibition at Wallace Collection London was finishing before I could visit it so …… as I often do I bought the catalogue, being F.M:I.P.for the E.I.Co.Very glad I did. It arrived quickly without any delay and I am still enjoying the illustrations and narrative.

Indian painting for Europeans
Amazing recovery of paintings and painters adapting Mughal and traditional Indian forms to European scientific needs and artistic tastes during East India Company and British Raj eras. Academic yet quite accessible. Some astounding pieces in various genre ... and names we're now glad to know. Brilliant.

O encontro de culturas.
Excelente introdução à arte decorrente do encontro de culturas ocidental e indiana. Impressionante, ver obras de artistas excepcionais como desconhecidos pelo ocidente. Como vislumbrar o lado oculto da lua pela primeira vez.
Beautiful art
Present for a friend. He loves it
Hold the past in your hands...
This book is a masterpiece, I just loved it! Lots of paintings dating back from East India Company's time. The paintings are elaborated and explained very well by the authors! It is not just a kind of catalogue but a hand held device for these magnificent and veiled paintings which could be deciphered by the same. William Dalrymple and other authors has worked really well in this. Hope you will enjoy!Thanks for reading :)Have an awesome day!
