Dr Phil. Konrad Seitz

The author, Dr Phil. Konrad Seitz, lived in India for many years, including from 1987-1990 as a German ambassador. He and his wife, Eva Seitz, rank among the most important private collectors of Indian miniature paintings worldwide. Their readiness to share their collection with art lovers all over the world both in publications like this one and through major donations to museums has done much to enhance our appreciation of the marvels of Indian painting.
