Oxford exhibitions.(Bodleian Library exhibition)(Brief article)
The Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford was founded in 1602 and is home to more than eight million volumes, including many manuscripts and rare books. Among its treasures is a collection of manuscript illustrations and paintings from Mughal India. An exhibition entitled The Flower Garden of Spring: Paintings from Mughal India, which highlights some fifty examples executed between about 1560 and 1800, is on view at the library until April 28. In India a style of painting developed in this period that blended Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles with additional European influences. It originated with manuscript illustration in the early sixteenth century, but was so admired by Mughal patrons that soon the style was used for individual paintings, which were mounted in decorative borders and bound in albums.
