Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins of the Gandhara school of art, an artistic movement that emerged where the ancient easternmost Greek colonies met the northwestern frontier of India. The author explores the remarkable synthesis of Greek and Indian elements that characterize Gandhara artworks, which encompass sculpture, painting, and architecture. The book delves into the historical and cultural contexts that gave rise to this school, including the conquests of Alexander the Great, the rise of the Indo-Greek kingdoms, and the spread of Buddhism in the region. The author argues that the Gandhara school played a pivotal role in the transmission of Greco-Buddhist motifs eastward, greatly influencing the development of Buddhist art in Asia. This book offers a comprehensive and accessible examination of the Gandhara school for the general reader.
