Indian myth paintings of Warwick Goble

Forthcoming in the next month or so are a new set of images related to India, and Hinduism. In the process, we encountered the lovely paintings by early-20th-century artist Warwick Goble used to illustrate Donald MacKenzie's Indian Myth and Legend. The illustrations depict scenes from the Mahabharata and Ramayana, ancient Hindu epic poems written in Sanskrit. Full-resolution (300 dpi) images are available for immediate download.



Rama Spurns the Demon Lover. Artist: Warwick Goble (1862-1943). Image published: London, 1913. Illustration of an Indian myth from the Hindu epic Ramayana, (ca. 5th-4th century BC.

We have added 8 of these images to our Ancient World-India gallery, and have also created a Warwick Goble gallery. Illustrations from other Goble projects will be added over the next month or two, so check back frequently!
