DETERIORATION OF INDIAN ART
Rumki Dutta
Abstract :
Art is a glorious chapter in the history of Indian art history. India has witnessed immense creative activity in the field of architecture, painting, sculpture and other fields of art, for over two thousand years. This great heritage was gradually deteriorated with the invasion of British East India Company. It reached almost a dead end towards the end of the nineteenth century. With the fall of Mughal Empire in 1757, the art of Mughals and Rajput miniatures had become exhausted and lost their vitality. During the company rule Indian art has undergone intensive changes. Those changes were more crucial because the Indian people were not fully prepared for them. As a result, a special type of Indian painting style emerged to satisfy European patrons, those painting displays an amalgam of heavily influenced European naturalistic style and the stylization of Mughal miniature. This new genre was termed “company painting”.
