As in every great art-epoch, certain traditional types were established, founded partly on sacerdotal prescription and partly on models created by the recognised masters of different schools. It will not, however, be possible to attempt a satisfactory classification of these schools until artistic research in India has progressed much further than it has at present. - [Previous: c7.280](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.280) - [Next: c7.282](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.282) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.281](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c7.281) · Pramāṇa
