Indian Painting of the 1500s: Continuities and Transformations

Indian Painting of the 1500s: Continuities and Transformations traces dramatic stylistic changes that swept art in India during the 1500s, paralleling those in culture and politics. In the art world, these emerged with greater narrative complexity and dramatic energy, and some artists began working in the pastel palette and with delicate motifs reinterpreted from Persian art. Their works are presented alongside compositions that artists chose to retain and reinvent. Cleveland Art Museum, US, through January 11, 2026.
