Event Details : The School of Arts and Aesthetics invites you to 'Mughal and Rajput Lives: Elite Culture in 16th and 17th Century North India' a talk by Prof Catherine B Asher.
In this talk Catherine Asher will discuss the intersection between the political ideology of the Mughals and their Rajput contemporaries in the production of art and architecture as a way of showcasing imperial images. Her presentation will cover not only the role of rulers in the promotion of concepts of kingship but also the patronage of high ranking Hindu and Muslim nobles as facilitators of these emblems of power.

She has written extensively on Indian art and architecture since 1200 in a series of essays and books, but has been particularly interested in the Mughals and how they were perceived in the 19th through 21st centuries. She is the author of the seminal Architecture of Mughal India (1992), co-editor of the volume, Perceptions of South Asia’s Visual Past (1994), and co-author (with Cynthia Talbot) of India before Europe (2006).
