describe the historical background of Mughal miniatures 3 painting
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Mughal painting is that particular style of South Asian painting which generally confines miniatures either as book illustrations or as single works to be kept in albums, which emerged from Persian miniature painting (itself largely of Chinese origin), with Indian Muslim, Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist influences, and developed largely in the court of the Mughal Empire of the 16th to 18th centuries. The Mughal emperors were Muslims and they are credited to have consolidated Islam in South Asia, and spread Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith.[1]
Mughal paintings later spread to other Indian courts, both Muslim and Hindu, and later Sikh. The mingling of foreign Persian and indigenous Indian elements was a continuation of the patronisation of other aspects of foreign culture as initiated by the earlier Turko-Afghan Delhi Sultanate, and the introduction of it into the subcontinent by various Central Asian Turkish dynasties, such as the Ghaznavids.
Answer:
Explanation:
Miniatures or small-sized paintings are generally done on cloth or paper using water colours, although the earliest were done on palm leaves and wood.
The Mughals used them mainly to illustrate historical accounts of battles, scenes from the court, lives of people, etc. They were also used to illustrate Jain texts.
Later, this style influenced the paintings of Rajasthan and the Deccan areas to depict mythology, poetry, portraits of the royals.
In the late 17th century, the style of miniature painting also grew as an art form known as 'Basohli' in the Himalayan foothills (present-day Himachal Pradesh).
