Deen Dayal

Deen Dayal is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Deen Dayal made photographs in the 1880s that freeze the carved ceilings of India’s Luna Vasahi temple. His black-and-white prints show delicate stone flowers and twisting vines lit by a single shaft of light. You can step inside the tiny marble shrine through his lens, look for the mirrored domes that catch the glow. Next tap the Luna Vasahi ceiling again to see the shadows move across the stone.
