FROM KABUL TO KOLKATA Highlights of Indian Painting in the Fitzwilliam Museum


THIS SPECIAL exhibition has been organised to mark the 70th anniversary of Indian independence and showcases a selection of Indian miniature paintings and drawings, ranging in date from the 16th to 19th century. Te exhibition will include works produced under the patronage of the Mughal dynasty and other princely rulers, as well as several acquired by early British patrons and collectors in India. Te paintings and drawings represent some of the main themes that engaged patrons and artists in India in the early modern period, including religious epic and myth, history, royal portraiture, hunting, natural history, music and architecture. A second exhibition is drawn


from the Fitzwilliam’s world- class numismatic collection and explores the history of India through coins produced from the 4th century BC until recent times. Cultural, religious, economic and political developments are richly illustrated by the coins on show. Tey focus on representative periods of India’s history, ending with a display of banknotes and coins produced since India became independent in 1947. • Until 3 November, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, www.fitzwilliam.cam.ak.uk
