Forgotten Masters: Indian Painting for the East India Company is a landmark art history book edited by the acclaimed historian William Dalrymple. Published to accompany the celebrated exhibition at The Wallace Collection, London, the book restores long-overlooked Indian artists of the late Mughal and East India Company period to their rightful place in art history. It showcases around 100 exceptional paintings created between the 1770s and 1857 by master Indian painters who worked for British patrons while preserving the sophistication and techniques of the Mughal artistic tradition. These extraordinary works depict India's flora and fauna, architecture, landscapes, courtly life, festivals, occupations, and everyday society with remarkable precision and beauty. The volume highlights the achievements of artists such as Shaikh Zain ud-Din, Bhawani Das, Ram Das, Ghulam Ali Khan, Sita Ram, Shaikh Muhammad Amir, Yellapah, and other forgotten masters whose contributions were overshadowed during the colonial era. Essays by leading scholars explore the emergence of the Company School of painting, the interaction between Indian and European artistic traditions, botanical illustration, natural history art, and the final flourishing of Mughal painting before the advent of photography and Western academic art. Richly illustrated with museum-quality reproductions, Forgotten Masters is regarded as one of the finest modern books on Indian art and is an indispensable reference for historians, collectors, museum professionals, artists, and anyone interested in India's artistic heritage.
