As part of our exhibition with Frieze Masters Francesca Galloway discusses how to look at Indian painting and explains the nuances of two historical works in the contrasting Hindu and Mughal styles, both dating from the 16th to 17th centuries.
These works, which will both be on display at Frieze Masters this year, reveal not just the aesthetic sophistication of Indian art of the renaissance era, but the reciprocal influence of Eastern and Western art, a key theme that runs throughout the fair.
