The 1500s saw revolutionary changes in all aspects of Indian culture and politics. The transformation of Indian painting was especially dramatic. In his lecture, Dr. Daniel Ehnbom explains the changes that occurred during the hundred-year span of the 1500s in South Asia through paintings on view from the extraordinarily rich CMA collection.

Ehnbom has lectured widely at institutions in the United States, India, Pakistan, and Europe. He is associate professor emeritus of art history at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and has published extensively on Indian painting. His first art historical publication was the exhibition catalogue written with the late Pramod Chandra, The Cleveland Tuti-nama Manuscript and the Origins of Mughal Painting (Cleveland Museum of Art, 1976). Since then, he has published extensively on topics from Indian miniatures to early Mughal painting. He has held many fellowships for research in India, Europe, and the United States, including the J. P. and Beena Khaitan Visiting Fellow for Trinity Term 2018 at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, Oxford University, United Kingdom, a recognized Independent Centre of Oxford University.
