George Michell provides a pioneering and richly illustrated introduction to the architecture, sculpture and painting of Southern India under the Vijayanagara empire and the states that succeeded it. This period, encompassing some four hundred years, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, was endowed with an abundance of religious and royal monuments which remain as testimonies to the history and ideology behind their evolution. The author evaluates the legacy of this artistic heritage, describing and illustrating buildings, sculptures and paintings that have never been published before. In a previously neglected area of art history, the author presents an original and much-needed reassessment.

The present book Material Culture Depicted in Vijayanagara Temples tries to cover the entire sculptural material and also paintings of the contemporary period. Therefore, the present book may justifiably claim completeness as far as material culture, reflected in the sculptures and paintings, is concerned. This study of the life of the people under the Vijayanagara empire, as depicted in the sculptures and paintings, tries to bring out the elements of contemporary rich material culture and locate the contemporary plastic parallels and finally tries to corroborate the sculptural data with the accounts of contemporary travellers and literary one. It is to be hoped that a renewed interest in the Unique culture of the Vijayanagara period will develop and that this book will stimulate further scholarly interest on Vijayanagara art.
