Shiva book and DVD
£19.98
There is no one style of Hindu art. Much of the art of the Indian subcontinent has always been religious in inspiration, and the same artists worked readily on images of gods from different traditions. The great Hindu god Shiva is worshiper and depicted in a multiplicity of forms - yogi, hunter, destroyer, lord of the cosmic dance. But one exquisite picture in the British Museum shows this wild deity in a more domestic mood, enjoying a private moment with his wife Parvati. Just 20cm in height, this 'painting for lovers' was designed for intimate viewing rather than public display. This compelling book and DVD set examines and celebrates the artistry of this late 18th-century masterpiece and also tell its fascinating history.
