Beautiful illustrations of the paintings

I was inspired to buy this book after I had seen a Masters of Indian Painting exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The reproduction of the paintings in the Met's own book on the exhibit was not good, so I searched for another and found this one. I ordered it from Amazon a year later. The reproductions are good and vivid. So far I have just had fun browsing through, getting inspiration for my own paintings. I have not yet read the accompanying text. It is a visual delight.
