The Story
Mughal miniature painting flowered in the imperial ateliers of Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan between the 16th and 18th centuries, fusing Persian Safavid refinement with an Indian eye for detail. Worked with squirrel-hair brushes in mineral pigments and burnished gold on handmade wasli paper, these jewel-like paintings captured court life, portraiture, romance and the natural world with extraordinary finesse, and were bound into albums (muraqqa) treasured by emperors. Its subject is courtly portraiture and romance, the most prized theme of the imperial album painters.
