Indian Art has a tradition spanning over 5000 years. These five millennia saw numerous rulers come and go, each one leaving his mark, with his distinctive taste and preference for art. Migration, invasions and alliances led to various fusion and improvement in art styles.

Ancient art is a remarkable insight into the life and times of the Indian royalty. It is also evidence of what true patronage can do to help art achieve its zenith. The Mughul emperors, Chola kings and the later Chettiar merchants had appreciation for the finer things in life. They encouraged artists with generous rewards, remarkable projects to work on, in-depth research, and style comparisons. The result is visible in their respective creations, which are difficult to emulate even today.

The significance in collecting antiquities developed in India during the British rule. The foreigners residing in India developed keen interest in Indian civilization. After seeing the keen interest that foreigners had in local art the wealthy resident Indians also joined the collector fraternity. The migration of these expatriates back to their homeland as well as the work of pioneering scholars like Ananda Coomaraswamy, Stella Kramrisch, Douglas Barrett etc in disseminating knowledge and developing Indian sections in museums in the Western world helped place India on the world map of ancient art.
