CONFERENCES
Monday, January 27th, 2:30PM, the auditorium of Guimet Museum: conference hosted by Corinne Lefevre and Jean-Baptiste Clais on the book « Les Arts Moghols »(260 spots)
This book invites you to explore the fascinating Mughal Empire (1526–1857), whose history and cultural, social, and political richness remain largely unknown in France.
Descendants of the Mongol Genghis Khan (circa 1165–1227) and the Turkic Tamerlane (1336–1405), the Mughal rulers originated from Central Asia but were driven out by the Uzbeks in the early 16th century. From Kabul, Babur, the founder of this Muslim dynasty, launched his victorious conquest of northern India in 1526. From Agra to Delhi, passing through Fatehpur Sikri and Lahore, the numerous thematic chapters of this book open the doors to a cultural and artistic journey to the edges of Asia.
Written by an international and multidisciplinary team, this richly illustrated academic volume invites readers to explore the splendor and wonders of the astonishing mosaic that is the Mughal Empire.
Edited by Corinne Lefèvre, researcher at CNRS, member of the Center for South Asian and Himalayan Studies, and historian specializing in pre-colonial Muslim India. With Jean-Baptiste Clais, curator at the Louvre Museum and head of Asian and European porcelain collections in the Department of Decorative Arts. Featuring contributions from Eloïse Brac de la Perrière, Mehreen Chida-Razvi, Ebba Koch, Murari Kumar Jha, Amina Okada, Eva Orthmann, Yves Porter, Yael Rice, and Audrey Truschke.
