February 2, 2022 May 2, 2022 Exhibition has ended
The figure of the ascetic is a recurrent theme in both ancient and contemporary India and is central to many manifestations of Indian art. It illustrates in particular the development of a mental and bodily discipline called yoga in order to withdraw from the world. Dedicated to representations of asceticism, this exhibition brings together a collection of Indian miniatures and sculptures on wood and bronze, from the 10th to the 19th centuries. In all, 70 works, as precious as they are little known.
