A Portrait of the Hindus: Balthazar Solvyns & the European Image of India 1760-1824 Hardcover - 2004
by Robert L. Hardgrave
First line
Calcutta in the late eighteenth century was an unlikely place for a Flemish marine artist, born to a prominent Antwerp merchant family, but for Francois Balthazar Solvyns (1760-1824), it was to be his home for thirteen years, and the product of his work there, a portrait of the Hindus in a collection of more than 250 etchings, would consume his life.

Description:
New York: Oxford University Press, 2004. 568 pp, 12 1/8" H. 79 colour and 285 b&w illustrations. "The Flemish artist Francois Balthazar Solvyns (1760-1824) is little known, but his series of etchings of the Hindus provides a rich and compelling portrait of India two hundred years ago. With commitment to faithful representation and with the sensi-bilities of an astutely observant artist, Solvyns portrays the people of India in their occupations, festi-vals and cultural life with immediacy and sympathy.

Contents: Francois Balthazar Solvyns Life and Work: Acknowledgements; Introduction; From Antewerp to Calcutta: A Flemish Artist in India; Return to Europe: Les Hindous; Balthazar Solvyns, Artist and Orientalist; Les Hindous: Preliminary Discourse. A Portrait of the Hindus: Solvyn's Calcutta; Castes and…
