The following three points are worthy of special mention in the history of Indian painting. (1) Wall paintings in the shade of rocks and on rock faces These are thought to have begun around 10,000 years ago. They are mainly found in central India, and include the Bhimbetka Caves, which were discovered in 1973 and are world-famous for the number of rock paintings they contain. These caves are sparsely colored and depict scenes of hunting, fighting, dancing, and other subjects. (2) Wall paintings in cave temples The Ajanta murals are world-famous for their large Buddhist themes, but other examples include murals at the Ellora, Cannery, and Badami caves. Cave paintings began before Christ, but painting flourished after the 6th and 7th centuries. In the Middle Ages, when cave painting ceased, painting shifted to palaces and private residences, and the paintings gradually became extremely small. (3) Miniatures in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Periods Illustrations of Jain scriptures began in the 11th century, and from the 15th and 16th centuries to the first half of the 19th century, Hindu Rajput painting, based on the traditional techniques of ancient mural painting, and Mughal painting, influenced by Islam and Persia and specializing in secular painting, developed brilliantly.

インド絵画史上特記すべきものとしては次の3点があげられよう。 (1) 岩陰および岩面の壁画 約1万年前頃から始まったと考えられる。中部インドが中心で,1973年に発見され,岩面画の数において世界的なビームベトカ石窟群がある。そこにはわずかな彩色で狩猟,戦闘,舞踊などのシーンが描かれている。 (2) 石窟寺院の壁画 アジャンタ壁画は仏教的主題の大画面によって世界的に有名であるが,その他エローラ,カーネリー,バーダーミ石窟などの壁画がある。開窟は紀元前からであるが,絵画の隆盛は6~7世紀以後。開窟の停止した中世には,絵画の場は宮廷や個人邸宅へと転じ,画面も次第に極小となった。 (3) 中世および近世におけるミニアチュール (細密画)  ジャイナ教の経典挿絵が 11世紀から起こり,15~16世紀から 19世紀前半までは,古代壁画の伝統的技法に基づいたヒンドゥー教のラージプート絵画や,イスラム,ペルシアの影響を受け,世俗的絵画を得意としたムガル絵画が華々しく展開した。
