In the Hellenistic and Roman Imperial periods (c. fourth century BC to fifth century AD) the movement of artistic ideas between these regions intensified. It appears to be vividly attested in the earliest cave-paintings at Ajanta in Maharashtra, for example, and in the Buddhist sculptures of Andhra Pradesh. In the first two centuries AD, when trade with India was central to Roman luxury consumption and brought colossal revenue to the Empire, Roman coins and other artefacts reached India in abundance and artistic connections are manifest, albeit often subtle and elusive. Building on the Classical Art Research Centre's earlier Gandhāra Connections project, Classical Art and Ancient India brings together research presented by international scholars at a workshop in Oxford in 2023. The papers, which include a keynote address by the historian William Dalrymple, seek to make sense of the cross-cultural artistic currents that joined India to the classical world. They offer new insights on particular topics and refine our picture of the broader cultural relationship. In doing so, they also question some of the assumptions that underpin it. pubtype: eBook doctype: Book ougenre: Book language: English copyright: @attributes: flag: N copyrightText: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
