This painting shows a colorful Jain temple in Calcutta from the 1890s. Bright glass tiles cover the walls, catching light everywhere. A small sculpture of the temple’s donor sits in the courtyard, facing away. The artist used a rare photo process to make this. It looks like a print, not a painting. That’s unusual for 1890s art. See it in person at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
