Event Description : WORKSHOP "Insights into the Functions, Perceptions and Research of Indian Miniatures in India" as part of 'Stories in Miniatures' A Series of Workshops related to the Indian miniatures in the Kupferstich-Kabinett at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden

The Kupferstich-Kabinett at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, houses two convolutes of Indian miniatures categorised separately as “the Indica Collection”. This collection consists of two parts. The first includes a rare series of six albums of Indian miniatures, mainly portraits of Indian princes, from the late 17th and 18th centuries. The second convolute consisting of 78 miniatures that offers a broader variety of subject matters. The collection was donated by the painter Auguste von Buttlar, as inheritance of her uncle, the writer and philologist August Wilhelm Schlegel, the founder of Indology in Germany. In a joint project, art conservation specialists from the CSMVS Museum Art Conservation Centre helped conserve selected miniature paintings at Dresden.

The workshops focus on Indian Miniature paintings from late 17th up to early 19th century. It analyses the function and perceptions of miniatures in the past and present; it hopes to address questions like circumstances under which these miniature painting originally developed and how they came to Europe, especially to Dresden. An exchange between the Indian and German specialists will take place in workshops and symposiums to be held at New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. The project will lead to an exhibition in spring 2017 in the Dresden Castle and subsequently in India in the winters of 2017-18. The joint presentation of the Indian miniatures with selected works from the SKD and other European collections will offer an interesting intercultural insight to a widespread audience.

Moderator Dr. Petra Kuhlmann-Hodick, Sr. Curator, Kupferstich Kabinett, SKD - Dresden
