Rembrandt and the Inspiration of India

Editat de Stephanie Schrader Contribuţii de Catherine Glynn, Yael Rice, William W. Robinson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mar 2018
This sumptuously illustrated volume examines the impact of Indian art and culture on Rembrandt (1606–1669) in the late 1650s. By pairing Rembrandt’s twenty-three extant drawings of Shah Jahan, Jahangir, Dara Shikoh, and other Mughal courtiers with Mughal paintings of similar compositions, the book critiques the prevailing notion that Rembrandt “brought life” to the static Mughal art. Written by scholars of both Dutch and Indian art, the essays in this volume instead demonstrate how Rembrandt’s contact with Mughal painting inspired him to draw in an entirely new, refined style on Asian paper—an approach that was shaped by the Dutch trade in Asia and prompted by the curiosity of a foreign culture. Seen in this light, Rembrandt’s engagement with India enriches our understanding of collecting in seventeenth-century Amsterdam, the Dutch global economy, and Rembrandt’s artistic self-fashioning. A close examination of the Mughal imperial workshop provides new insights into how Indian paintings came to Europe as well as how Dutch prints were incorporated into Mughal compositions.

Recenzii

“The collaboration between scholars of Dutch art (Schrader and Robinson) and Mughal painting (Glynn and Rice) offers a welcome balance between Western and non-Western viewpoints that yields interesting new insights into Rembrandt’s engagement with the increasingly interconnected world of early modernity.”
 

“The essays on Rembrandt’s work and on Mughal artistic practices by eminent scholars in each of these domains . . . should serve as a touchstone for how to write a history of global artistic encounters.”
 

“This superb catalogue of a J. Paul Getty Museum exhibition, curated by Stephanie Schrader, tells a complexly interwoven story of early modern global art exchange by juxtaposing twenty of Rembrandt’s pen-and-wash drawings of Mughal rulers with exquisite examples of the types of miniature painted portraits that inspired them.”
