This volume explores the sacred painting traditions of Tibet from the mid-15 through 20th centuries on the basis of both surviving remains and the extensive written sources that survive in the Tibetan language. It attempts to identify and date the main painting schools of post-14th century Tibet and locates for the first time paintings that can confidently be linked to some of the founding masters. The book includes a survey of the main available Tibetan sources and studies, both traditional and modern, as well as detailed summary of previous Western research on Tibetan painting.
