Buddhist Art of Mathura by Dr. R.C. Sharma is the first in-depth and scholarly study of the Buddhist artistic heritage of Mathura, spanning from the 1st century B.C. to the late Gupta period. Drawing on archaeological discoveries, numismatics, inscriptions, literary sources, and foreign records, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution, style, and iconography of Buddhist art in the region. It offers fresh interpretations on the origin of the Buddha image, introduces previously unknown Buddhist establishments and artists, and includes a detailed chronology of artistic developments. Rich in academic insight and supported by decades of fieldwork, this magnum opus is a valuable contribution to Indological and Buddhist art studies.
