A History of Tibetan Painting

A History of Tibetan Painting explores the sacred painting traditions of Tibet from the mid-15th through 20th centuries on the basis of both the surviving pictorial remains and the extensive written sources that survive in the Tibetan language. It attempts to identify and date the main painting schools that flourished in Tibet from the 15th century and locates for the first time paintings that can be confidently linked to some of the founding masters.
