Description: New Delhi: Aryan Books, 2012. 30cm., hardcover, 309pp. illus., most in color. Summary: This book is a pioneering work on an area which has received scant attention in teh past. Studies on the period of Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan- the 'Maysor Sultans' inevitably focus on the dominant narrative of political history of the time and its attendant romantic anecdotes. Consequently, the study of art and architecture of the period had so far remained in the shadows. Thid bok is a detailed aesthetic study of the art and architecture of the places, forts, mosques, mausoleum at Srirangapatna, Bangalore and the neightbourhood. Further, this book closely examines the exquisite murals in the sumer palace at Srirangapatna. It also incorporates the scientific investigation of the pigment composition of the paintings. Finally, the appendix had a survey of the coins of the Mysore Sultans form the National Museum collection. This books is based on extensive fieldwork and photo-documentation and an indepth study of contemporary Indian, Persian and English literary sources, paintings, illustrated imperial manuscripts and inscriptions. It is replete with over three hundred spectacular photographs, contemporary maps, topographic surveys and line drawings, highlighting all nuances of the subjects. The attempt is to examine the art and architecture of the Mysore Sultans from every possible points of view and the book will surely be of immense value to scholars, students and art-lovers.
