Synopsis:
For most lovers of Nepalese art, the Jucker collection will come as a revelation. The collection gives an excellent overall view of the painting tradition in the Kathmandu valley from the 13th to the 20th century - including several extremely rare scrolls for which there are no comparable pieces in other private or public collections. Almost all the scroll paintings were executed by artists from the Newari community.
This catalogue is the first to treat the Kathmandu valley Newari painting tradition and as such, its scrolls, book covers and sketchbooks are an indispensable resource for all students of Nepalese art. One of the most interesting aspects of the Jucker collection is that one can clearly distinguish two different painting traditions in the history of the valley. The first, the oldest, bears some influence from the northern India of the Pala dynasties (circa 750-1200). The second tradition appeared in the late 16th century and seems to have been limited in its patronage to the Hindu and Buddhist communities of the valley. Influences on this style came not only from India, but also from Tibet, and can especially be seen in the depiction of landscape, textiles and architecture. It was this second painting tradition which gave the valley its own place among the various Asian painting traditions. |
