Domains of Wonder:
Selected Masterworks of Indian Painting

November 18, 2007–January 27, 2008
J. E. R. Chilton Galleries

Presenting some of the finest examples of South Asian painting ranging from the14th through the late 19th century, Domains of Wonder will provide a complete overview of Indian court painting with examples representing the best of each school. The works in the exhibition, selected from across India, facilitate a comparison of the tastes—and the political allegiances—of the patrons and courts of various regions. Comprising 124 paintings and two bound manuscripts, the exhibition includes fine examples from the Mughal, Deccani, and Rajput courts.

Organized by the San Diego Museum of Art. Organizing curator in Dallas is Anne Bromberg, The Cecil and Ida Green Curator of Ancient and Asian Art at the Dallas Museum of Art.
