A conference/public talk at the Italian Embassy Cultural Centre on Saturday, 31st August by Prof. Chiara Rostagno and Roobina Karode, Director and Chief Curator, KNMA. The public talk will be focused on the role that equestrian battles have played in Italian and Indian art.
From The Ancient Battle of Issus mosaic from Pompeii to Paolo Uccello Battle of San Romano, to Late Renaissance, Tintoretto’s The Battle of Zara, for the iconographic Hall of the Sala dello Scrutinio in Venice, battles and battlefield were an important subject to depict historical significance as a reflection of the classical ideals, the pursuit of moral virtue, representation of strength, political and social climate of its time. A theme like Karbala for Husain, is much beyond the Battle of Karbala, it is the 'Karuna rasa' and "Veera Rasa' if one refers to Abhinava Gupta's rasa theory, these emotions are primary components in the painting "Karbala.'
