Sikh Art

Gathers paintings, prints and woodcuts that depict Sikh gurus, scripture and devotional life: portraits of Guru Gobind Singh and his successors, illustrated manuscript pages, and popular prints produced for Sikh devotional and pilgrimage use across Punjab and the wider Sikh diaspora. A member belongs here for its Sikh devotional or historical subject matter and its production within or for the Sikh community, distinct from the Hindu Art and Islamic Art gathered separately, the two traditions Sikh visual culture most often sits beside in a South Asian museum collection, and from the Photograph and Painting headings organized by medium rather than tradition.
