dc.descriptionIn general the artist may have been aware of 2 different schools of painting , the vague lingering of the Pala style of the 11th-12th cent. and the contemporary style of Western Indian painting. From the first he has drawn his iconographic schema for the hieratic scenes without inheriting or acquiring even a faint trace of the Pala period style. From the narrative painting of Western India he has derived specific stylistic characteristics such as linear and pictorial qualities, mode of rendering the projected further eye, angularity of limbs, etc. Sophistry of either style lacking, but compensation in qualities of vivacious exuberance and spontaneity of lively folk art. The paintings were very likely done in the village of Ara in Magadha. Maybe the scribe, Jayaramadatta, was the artist. -- shown in slide IM77.
