More than a historical survey, A Treasury of Life repositions Company painting as an essential part of India’s artistic journey. Join us on Friday, 6 June 2025, for another walkthrough with Giles Tillotson, SVP, DAG, as he sheds light on how Indian painters moved beyond royal commissions to embrace new patrons, subjects, and styles—laying the foundation for future shifts in Indian art.

Capturing India's flora and fauna with scientific precision and artistic sensitivity, documenting its historic sites and cityscapes, and portraying its people—traders, artisans, religious figures, and sacred idols—in vivid detail, A Treasury of Life: Indian Company Paintings, c. 1790 to 1835 showcases the diversity of Company Paintings and artistic brilliance of Indian painters.
