Malwa (Rajasthani (culture or style), Rajput, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a 17th-century Indian school of Rajasthani miniature painting centered largely in Malwa and Bundelkhand (in the modern state of Madhya Pradesh). It is also sometimes referred to as Central Indian painting because of its geographical distribution. Malwa painting is generally described as conservative and simple: compositions are flat, dark backgrounds are favored, space is divided into registers, figures are painted against solid patches of color, and architecture is brightly painted. While the style is often considered archaistic, it was nevertheless a well-established tradition. Two stylistic types have been designated by scholars: Style A and Style B, with the latter showing Mughal influence. The school declined in the 1690s but was influential for the painting schools of neighboring regions.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指發展於西元十七世紀的一支印度拉賈斯坦細密畫畫派,此畫派的中心大致位於馬爾瓦(Malwa)與本德爾汗德(Bundelkhand),亦即現今的馬達拉省。因為其地理分布,馬爾瓦派有時也指印度中部的繪畫,。一般認為馬爾瓦繪畫既保守又簡單:偏好平板的構圖與昏暗的背景,空間分割成不同層次,人物則置於以單色塗成的色塊上,建築物的用色則相當明亮。一般認為馬爾瓦風格具有擬古風,但這其實是個由來已久的繪畫傳統。學者認定的兩種風格型態分別是風格A與風格B,後者受到蒙兀兒風格的影響。馬爾瓦畫派於西元1690年代開始式微,但對於鄰近地區的畫派仍具影響力。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een 17de-eeuwse Indiase school van Rajasthan-miniatuurschilders, met als voornaamste centra Malwa en Bundelkhand (in de tegenwoordige staat Madhya Pradesh). Vanwege de geografische verspreiding wordt de stijl soms omschreven als Centraal-Indiase schilderkunst. De Malwa-schilderkunst wordt meestal als vrij behoudend en sober beschouwd: vlakke composities, vaak met een donkere achtergrond, een in registers ingedeelde ruimte en figuren die tegen massieve kleurvlakken zijn geschilderd, met een helder geschilderde architectuur. De stijl wordt vaak als archaïsch beschouwd, maar vormde wel een stevig gewortelde traditie. Geleerden onderscheiden twee stijltypen, stijl A en stijl B, waarbij de latere stijl Mogolinvloeden verraadt. Vanaf 1690 raakte de Malwa-school in verval, maar wel beïnvloedde de stijl de schilderscholen in naburige regio's. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere a una escuela india de pintura en miniatura Rajasthani centrada mayormente en Malwa y Bundelkhand (en el estado moderno de Madhya Pradesh). También es a veces llamado la pintura India Central debido a su distribución geográfica. La pintura Malwa generalmente se describe como conservadora y simple: las composiciones son planas, se privilegian los fondos oscuros, el espacio es dividido en registros, las figuras se pintan contra parches de color sólido y la arquitectura es pintada con gran colorido. Mientras el estilo es considerado a menudo arcaizante, fue no obstante una tradición bien establecida. Dos tipos estilísticos han sido señalados por los estudiosos: Estilo A y Estilo B, el más reciente mostrando influencia Mughal. La escuela decayó en los años 1690, pero fue influyente para las escuelas de pintores de regiones vecinas.
