The dates chosen are not arbitrary, for although a highly civilized nation existed in the North long before the Aryan and Dravidian invasion, little is known about the art of India before the fourth century BC. In the third century AD, during the Gupta period, an important change took place in the Indian spirit : sensualism was to be divorced from spiritualism for a long time. Within these boundaries, the eminent scholar distinguishes three phases: an early period, full of confusion and contradiction; a middle or golden period, full of order and strength; and a late period, full of exuberance both of form and outlook. The author's excellent chronology and detailed descriptions cover the Maurya period, when Chandragupta (321-297) wished to imitate the magnificence of Alexander's court; figural sculpture and memorial pillars of Asoka, Chandragupta's grandson; the relief's from Barhut in the Center and from Amaravati in the South; the magnificent Buddhist alto-relievo at Sanchi; the sculpture of the Gandhara school; and the Buddhist sculpture of the North-West, North and South. Throughout the centuries studies in the relationship between sculpture and architecture is explored. From the very start there seemed to be a desire to subject structure to sculpture, even though in the middle period - between 50 BC and 75 AD - last period examined, the victory of sculpture was complete, when the representations on the stupas of Amaravati threw a glittering net over the entire structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003eContents\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Preface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e List of Plates\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col type=\"I\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Beginnings\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003eThe Maurya Period \u003cbr\u003e Figural Sculpture \u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Sculpture in India\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e The Early Phase \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e The Golden Age \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e The Late Period \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sculpture of Gandhara \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e The Beginning \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e The Development \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddha Statues in North-West, North, and South India\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e North-West India \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e North India \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e South India \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e Conclusion \u003cul\u003eNotes\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Plates 1-62\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Plates 63-161\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr size=\"1\" color=\"black\"\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003eFree Shipping.
