Description
Mughal miniature painting, rooted in a diverse mix of cultural, religious and artistic traditions, became one of the richest and most productive areas in the history of Islamic art. Portraiture, animal painting, courtly, religious and mythological subjects were all produced with consummate skill. Focusing on the great flowering of miniature painting under the emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan, this book offers a survey of the paintings, painters and royal patrons of 16th- and 17th-century Mughal India. The author of this work is also the author of "Islamic Art and Design" and co-author of "Suleyman the Magnificent".
