Summary

Milo Cleveland Beach is the author of The Grand Mogul: Imperial Painting in India 1600–1660, the catalogue of the exhibition organised by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, in 1978, with contributions by Stuart Cary Welch and Glenn D. Lowry. 1 2

Approach

His preface records a grant to examine paintings in London and Tehran and help in reading inscriptions, and acknowledges Stuart Cary Welch's information and visual judgement. 3 He sees the exploration of naturalism between about 1600 and 1660 as the central achievement of Mughal painting, and closes the book with "a personal view" of it. 4 5
