About this Event
Dr. Elizabeth Rosen Stone, independent scholar and Andrew W. Mellon Senior Fellow in Art History at the Metropolitan Museum, discusses Gandhara art which developed following Alexander the Great’s invasion of the Indian subcontinent. There will be fascinating visual references to the Classical world throughout the Buddhist art of Nagarjunakonda and related sites in Southern India from the first century BCE through the third century CE. The resulting rich tradition fused Greco-Roman art with Indian Buddhist narrative sculpture questioning the idea that the art of southern India is indigenous.
