Conclusion; References; Index.Reviews'Equipped with an understanding of aesthetics as the analysis of the sensory and affective encounter and a deep respect for artistic creativity, Gonzalez is able to argue for a new understanding of Mughal painting's aesthetic syntheses of Indic, Persian, Islamic, and European pictorial traditions. Her phenomenological method permits an acute account of how a work of art makes a world through practices of spatiality, textuality, and figurality. Her historical analysis compellingly explains the transformations of these practices during the Mughal empire.' Laura U. Marks, Simon Fraser University, Canada Author InformationValerie Gonzalez is an expert on Islamic art history and aesthetics. She teaches Islamic studies at the Leighton House Museum, London.
