Evolution In Paintings Of Guru Gobind Singh


Recommended Posts

Gurfateh

Can you please post links and images of painting of Guru Gobind Singh as i'd like to research whether there is an evolution in the way Maharaj was depicted in the early 18th century till today? (from a greater focus on military attributes to a more saint-depiction).

Please post links and images. I hope freed can help me also.

Personally I think it would easier for you to track changes in iconography with Guru Tegh Bahadhur ji.

The recent depiction as per Sobha Singh seems to be burnt into the memories of recent generations but older images seem to show Guru ji in a more regal, military representation that we would be more likely to associate with Guru Gobind Singh ji today.

If you try and do a project like this you're going to stumble on problems with accurately dating older images btw.

Good luck and see the images in the picture section of the forum for a start.
