Summary

DescriptionRampurva bull capital side.jpg	Frontal view of the capital. English: Bull capital Rampurva, Calcutta Indian Museum (John Boardman, "The Diffusion of Classical Art in Antiquity", Princeton University Press, 1993, p.130: "The Indian king's grandson, Asoka, was a convert to Buddhism. His editcs appear carved on rocks and a number of free-standing pillars which are found right accross India. These owe something to the pervasive influence of Achaemenid architecture and sculpture, with no little Greek architectural ornament and sculptural style as well. Notice the florals on the bull capital from Rampurva, and the style of the horse on the Sarnath capital, now the emblem of the Republic of India." The original is in the Rashtrapati Bhavan presidential compound, New Delhi) Français : Le taureau de Rampurva est souvent cité comme example de syncrétisme artistique, combinant des éléments Indiens, Achéménides et Grecs: le sujet animalier est plutôt Indien, la forme générale du chapiteau est d'inspiration Achéménide, alors que les motifs floraux en palmette témoignent de influence de l'art hellénistique.
