Main Features of the Mughal Paintings in India

1. Confined to Mughal court:

Mughal painting remained confined to the Mughal court and did not reach the people.

2. A synthesis of Indian and Persian elements:

The Mughal rulers brought Persian painters with them. At the same time they patronized Indian painters and the collaboration between these two schools of painters resulted in the synthesis.

4. Abundant use of colours:

Golden colours considered to be the symbols of prosperity of the Mughals began to be used increasingly.

5. Climax of Mughal painting:

Jahangir had a very discriminating eye and Mughal painting reached its climax of glory during his reign.

Mughal painting during Babur:

Although a great lover of art, Babur could hardly find time to devote attention to this art as he mostly remained busy in waging war.

Mughal painting during Humayun:

The foundation of Mughal painting was laid by Humayun during his exile from India in Persia and Afghanistan. Two of Persia’s greatest painters Mir Sayyid Ali and Abdus Samad came with him to Delhi and helped to produce some paintings.
