Major Robert Gill (1804–1879) was an army officer, antiquarian, painter and photographer in British India. He is best known for his paintings copying the frescoes of the Ajanta Caves. Gill was the first painter – after their rediscovery in 1819 – to make extensive copies of the Buddhist cave paintings, which mostly date to the 5th century CE. His surviving copies and drawings remain significant in Ajanta studies as the originals have significantly deteriorated since his time.

  • Le major Robert Gill (26 septembre 1804 dans le borough londonien de Hackney – 1875 en route vers Ajantâ, Maharashtra, Inde) est un officier, un antiquaire, un peintre et un photographe britannique. Il est surtout connu pour ses dessins en couleur des fresques d'Ajantâ. Gill est le premier à publier de tels dessins (après leur découverte en 1819) et à compléter un grand nombre de copies des fresques du Bouddha dans les grottes, lesquels ont été peintes vers le Ve siècle. Ses copies et ses dessins constituent au XXIe siècle un matériel important dans l'étude d'Ajantâ parce que les fresques des grottes se sont dégradées depuis leur découverte. (fr)
