Rajasthani Painters: Bagta and Chokha - Master Artists at Devgarh

After Andrew Topsfield’s recent study Court Painting at Udaipur, which was welcomed by scholars as the definitive research on the Mewar school for long, we are proud to present a monograph on two Devgarh artists that covers the lesser known artistic developments of the history of Mewar painting. This publication focuses on two master-artists, Bagta and his son Chokha, who worked first for the prestigious court of the Maharanas of Udaipur before they became involved with the rawats of Devgarh in the second half of the eighteenth century and nineteenth century respectively.

Rubens's 'Massacre of the Innocents' in the Thomson Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario

The recent rediscovery of Rubens’s Massacre of the Innocents offers an important opportunity to reassess the painter’s early career.
