Description

Explore the hidden history of South Asian Muslim art with Faces of God: Images of Devotion in Indo-Muslim Painting, 1500-1800. Published by Brill as part of the Handbook of Oriental Studies, this scholarly work challenges the idea that Islamic art is strictly iconophobic. Instead, it reveals the rich tradition of figural artworks created for South Asian Muslim audiences. This book examines manuscript illustrations and album paintings through the lens of devotion and ritual. By looking at the religious and intellectual histories of the time, the study provides a new perspective on how these artworks functioned within their original cultures. It focuses on key historical figures, including the Mughal siblings Jahanara Begum and Dara Shikoh, along with their Sufi guide Mulla Shah. Through art historical analysis and new translations, this volume offers a deep look at the context of Indo-Muslim art. It is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of Islamic history and visual culture in South Asia.
