Jain Miniature Paintings from Western India c12.39

But, for all said about the aesthetic disinterestedness of Western Indian painting, there is no doubt, a certain quaint combination of erratic lines and strong colours that gives it some charm. Its naïvety, which has nothing to do with the studied charm of the Mughal art, expresses a great sympathy for the luxuries and loves of the world. It is an art inspired by the bourgeoises, and, therefore, its restricted vision could not soar to spiritual heights; nevertheless, its decorative charm could not be ignored.
