Up, Close & Centre

Ever stood before a painting wondering what stories lie within it? This session of Up, Close and Centre unpacks an 18th century courtly painting from Rajasthan. Join our session where Shubhasree Purkayastha from the MAP Education Team, will reveal stories – both obvious and hidden in the painting.

MAP is home to a growing collection of over 100,000 artworks. Up, Close & Centre is a series that allows audiences to engage with art in deeper and more meaningful ways by delving into the context, narratives and makings of one artwork from our collection, chosen by our team members.
