Pahari paintings: the Horst Metzger collection in the Museum Rietberg

Door

Uittreksel

The exhibition shows forty works of Indian Pahari painting from the Horst Metzger Collection. The paintings originate from the workshops of the Pahari region, in the foothills of the Himalayas in north-western India, and were commissioned in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by princes with a penchant for art. Most of them show scenes from wide-ranging series presenting Krishna's life, but some illustrate texts describing the wondrous deeds of the goddesses. The works in the collection are regarded as pearls of Indian painting on account of their delicate paper, fine drawing and valuable colour pigments. Exhibition: Museum Rietberg, Zürich, Switzerland (01.12.2016-21.05.2017).
