Gods Entreat 2014 Wall Calendar: Gods Entreat Scenes from the great Hindu and Muslim stories, as well as the lives of members of the elite, inspired artists of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries to create these twelve Indian miniatures. The themes are wealth, grandeur, love, leisure, and societal rank. Yet amid such variety, this sampling from one of the world’s great painting traditions displays a certain uniformity: the twelve paintings are marked by strong formal symmetry and a slightly elevated perspective—we look down on pavilions, parks, and palaces that appear to have been staged for our pleasure. All of Pomegranate"s calendars are printed with soy-based inks on FSC® certified paper, which means the paper has been certified by the Forest Stewardship CouncilTM; and manufactured by an FSC certified printer.
