2. WHAT ARE MINIATURE PAINTINGS :-

ENGRAVINGS AND SCULPTURES THAT ARE VERY
SMALL; IT HAS A LONG HISTORY THAT DATES
BACK TO PREHISTORY.

3. 1. MUGHAL PAINTING
• MUGHAL PAINTING IS A PARTICULAR STYLE OF SOUTH ASIAN,
PARTICULARLY NORTH INDIAN (MORE SPECIFICALLY, MODERN
DAY INDIA AND PAKISTAN), PAINTING CONFINED
TO MINIATURES EITHER AS BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS OR AS SINGLE
WORKS TO BE KEPT IN ALBUMS (MURAQQA). IT EMERGED
FROM PERSIAN MINIATURE PAINTING (ITSELF PARTLY OF CHINESE
ORIGIN) AND DEVELOPED IN THE COURT OF THE MUGHAL
EMPIRE OF THE 16TH TO 18TH CENTURIES.

4. 2. LADY WITH AN ERMINE
The Lady with an Ermine[n 1] (Italian: Dama con
l'ermellino [ˈdaːma kon
lermelˈliːno]; Polish: Dama z gronostajem) is
a portrait painting widely attributed to the Italian
Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Dated
to c. 1489–1491, the work is painted in oils on
a panel of walnut wood. Its subject is Cecilia
Gallerani, a mistress of Ludovico Sforza ("Il
Moro"), Duke of Milan; Leonardo was painter to
the Sforza court at the time of its execution.

5. 3. INDIAN PAINTING
• INDIAN PAINTING HAS A VERY LONG
TRADITION AND HISTORY IN INDIAN ART,
THOUGH BECAUSE OF THE CLIMATIC
CONDITIONS VERY FEW EARLY EXAMPLES
SURVIVE.[1] THE EARLIEST INDIAN PAINTINGS
WERE THE ROCK PAINTINGS
OF PREHISTORIC TIMES, SUCH AS
THE PETROGLYPHS FOUND IN PLACES
LIKE BHIMBETKA ROCK SHELTERS. SOME OF
THE STONE AGE ROCK PAINTINGS FOUND

6. 4. RAJPUT PAINTING
• RAJPUT PAINTING, ALSO CALLED LODA LESSON
PAINTING, EVOLVED AND FLOURISHED IN THE ROYAL
COURTS OF RAJPUTANA IN NORTHERN INDIA, MAINLY
DURING THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURIES. ARTISTS
TRAINED IN THE TRADITION OF THE MUGHAL
MINIATURE WERE DISPERSED FROM THE IMPERIAL
MUGHAL COURT, AND DEVELOPED STYLES ALSO
DRAWING FROM LOCAL TRADITIONS OF PAINTING,
ESPECIALLY THOSE ILLUSTRATING THE HINDU
RELIGIOUS EPICS, THE MAHABHARATA AND RAMAYANA.

7. 5. PERSIAN MINIATURE
• A PERSIAN MINIATURE (PERSIAN: ‫ایرانی‬ ‫نگارگری‬NEGÂRGARI
IRÂNI) IS A SMALL PERSIAN PAINTING ON PAPER, WHETHER
A BOOK ILLUSTRATION OR A SEPARATE WORK OF ART
INTENDED TO BE KEPT IN AN ALBUM OF SUCH WORKS
CALLED A MURAQQA. THE TECHNIQUES ARE BROADLY
COMPARABLE TO THE WESTERN
MEDIEVAL AND BYZANTINE TRADITIONS
OF MINIATURES IN ILLUMINATED
MANUSCRIPTS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS AN EQUALLY WELL-
ESTABLISHED PERSIAN TRADITION OF WALL-PAINTING,
THE SURVIVAL RATE AND STATE OF PRESERVATION OF
MINIATURES IS BETTER, AND MINIATURES ARE MUCH THE
BEST-KNOWN FORM OF PERSIAN PAINTING IN THE WEST,
