Company (style) (British Colonial Indian, Colonial Indian, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A style of painting in India created by descendants of Mughal artists for the British in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The artistic centers of this style were Delhi in the north, Lucknow, Calcuta and Patna in the east, and Madras and Thanjavar in the south. The subject matter of these 'Company paintings' consisted of flowers, animals, caste groups, festivals, and scenic spots; the techniques were adapted from European watercolors. The names derives from the East India Company, with which the patrons of the Company style were often associated. The patrons tended to have a genuine scientific interest in the Indian culture and environment rather than a passing curiosity about the exotic.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指於西元十八世紀晚期至十九世紀早期間,由蒙兀兒風格畫家後裔在印度為英國繪製的繪畫風格。東印度公司藝術風格的中心位於北部的德里、東部的勒克瑙、加爾各達、巴那特、南部的馬德拉斯、坦賈武爾。這些東印度公司出產的繪畫主題包括:花卉、動物、種姓族群、慶典、風景;繪畫技法則改良自歐洲的水彩。東印度公司風格的命名源自東印度公司,而此風格的贊助人也多半與東印度公司有關。這些贊助人希望能從藝術品中瞭解真正而確切的印度文化與環境,而非僅僅追求一種浮光掠影式的異國風格。  
Dutch ..... Indiase schilderstijl die werd ontwikkeld door afstammelingen van Mogolkunstenaars die eind 18de eeuw en begin 19de eeuw voor de Britten werkten. De artistieke centra van deze stijl waren Delhi in het noorden, Lucknow, Calcutta en Patna in het oosten, en Madras en Thanjavar in het zuiden. Thema's van deze 'Company-schilderijen' waren bloemen, dieren, kastengroepen, festivals en schilderachtige locaties; als techniek werd een afgeleide vorm van het Europese aquarelschilderen gebruikt. De naam is ontleend aan de Britse East India Company, waarmee de opdrachtgevers van werk in de Company-stijl vaak werden geassocieerd. De opdrachtgevers toonden vaak oprechte wetenschappelijke belangstelling voor de Indiase cultuur en het Indiase landschap, een belangstelling die verder reikte dan een vluchtige hang naar het exotische. 
Spanish ..... Un estilo de pintura India creado por los descendientes de los artistas Mughal para los británicos a finales de los siglos XVIII y a principios del siglo XIX. Los centros artísticos de este estilo eran Delhi en el norte, Lucknow, Calcuta y Patna en el este, y Madras y Thanjavar en el sur. Los temas de éstas "pinturas de Compañía” consistían en flores, animales, grupos de casta, fiestas, y lugares paisajísticos; las técnicas se adaptaron de las acuarelas europeas. Los nombres derivan de la Compañía de India Oriental con la que los mecenas del estilo de la Compañía eran a menudo asociados. Los mecenas tendieron a tener un interés científico genuino en la cultura y ambiente de India más bien que una curiosidad pasajera por lo exótico.
