Treats visual evidence over 300 years to understand the integrative relationship and flow of cultural production across elite patronage and popular values through common themes and stories. Changing state formations and power relationships-- from the Mughal empire and its successor states through British imperial control and after independence-- are studied as contexts for the visual culture that emerges and changes across these time periods. Knowledge gained from ±á±õÌý263 [Asian Civilizations to 1800] or ±á±õÌý264 [Modern Asia] is helpful but not required.
