Question

What are miniature paintings? How did they develop under the mughal patronage​

Answer 1

Answer:

Miniature painting is a traditional style of art that is very detailed, often referred to as painting or working “in miniature”

The Mughal emperors especially Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan patronised highly skilled painters. These painters primarily illustrated manuscripts containing historical accounts and poetry. These were generally painted in brilliant colours and portrayed court scenes, scenes of battle or hunting and other aspects of social life. They were often exchanged as gifts and were viewed only by the emperor and his close associates.
