"Intimate Worlds: Masterpieces of Indian Painting from the Alvin O. Bellak Collection"
2001-03-02 until 2001-04-29
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Philadelphia, PA, USA

The collection of Dr. Alvin O. Bellak constitutes one of the finest private collections of Indian miniature paintings in the world. This exhibition of 90 paintings and drawings marks the first time that the collection - which Dr. Bellak has generously promised to the Museum - has been shown in its entirety.

Painted in vibrant, opaque watercolors on paper, highlighted with gold, and polished to a lustrous surface, most of the works on view were originally parts of illuminated manuscripts or loosely bound series created for private enjoyment or pious devotion.
