New York: “I was
amazed to see the extra ordinary exposure granted to Indian Art under ‘Sultan
of Deccan India 1500-1700-Opulence And Fantasy’ an exhibition which has been
admired not only by Americans but by thousands of visiting tourist in New York at The Metropolitan Museum”
said Sandeep Marwah Managing Director of National Tourism And Transport
Cooperatives of India Limited during his visit to New York.
Opulence and fantasy characterize the
art of India's Deccan courts during the rule of its sultans in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries
This exhibition brings together some
two hundred of the finest works from major international, private, and royal
collections. Featuring many remarkable loans from India, the exhibition—which
is the most comprehensive museum presentation on this subject to date—explores
the unmistakable character of classical Deccani art in various media: poetic
lyricism in painting, lively creations in metalwork, and a distinguished
tradition of textile production.
