Abstract

While scientific investigations into the technique of the methods of production of the mural paintings in the Palace of Minos at Knossos, in Pompeii, etc., have been conducted by Noel Heaton, Eibner, Berger, Raehlmann and others, very little has been done in this direction in the East. With the exception of the work on the Ajanta frescoes, of which, however, details of investigations are not available, nothing has been done to reconstruct the exact methods of production of ancient paintings in India, and compare them not only with the methods suggested in Indian texts on painting, but also with those adopted in the West in ancient times.
