Mugal painting is a particular style of South Asian, particularly Indian 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. The Mughal emperors were Muslims and they are credited with consolidating Islam in South Asia, and spreading Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith.[1]
Mughal painting immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums, and were more realistically depicted. Although many classic works of Persian literature continued to be illustrated, as well as Indian works, the taste of the Mughal emperors for writing memoirs or diaries, begun by Babur, provided some of the most lavishly decorated texts, such as the Padshahnama genre of official histories. Subjects are rich in variety and include portraits, events and scenes from court life, wild life and hunting scenes, and illustrations of battles. The Persian tradition of richly decorated borders framing the central image (mostly trimmed in the images shown here) was continued, as was a modified form of the Persian convention of an elevated viewpoint.
The Emperor Shah Jahan standing on a globe, with a halo and European-style putti, c. 1618-19 to 1629.
The Mughal painting style later spread to other Indian courts, both Muslim and Hindu, and later Sikh, and was often used to depict Hindu subjects. This was mostly in northern India. It developed many regional styles in these courts, tending to become bolder but less refined.
Mughal Miniature paintings are one of the most long-standing types of art that are still available for purchase today, and any piece can be a fantastic addition to a collection or stand on its own as a stunning piece of Indian historical art.

Pahari miniature painting
Alternative Title: Hill painting. Pahari painting, style of miniature painting and book illustration that developed in the independent states of the Himalayan foothills in India. The style is made up of two markedly contrasting schools, the bold intense Basohli and the delicate and lyrical Kangra.
The Great Mughal Empire declined under Emperor Aurangzeb from 1658-1707. Aurangzeb overextended the empire through wars and strained resources, losing support from Hindu people. He was an intolerant Muslim who faced rebellions from Hindu groups like the Marathas. Aurangzeb's death in 1707 left the empire weak and unstable, making it vulnerable to invasion and allowing the British to eventually gain control of India.

- Mauryan art represented an important transition from wood to stone in Indian art. Notable features include the use of cut stone in religious sculptures and the development of Buddhist temples, stupas, and caves that were inspired by earlier Vedic traditions.
- Gandharan art developed in the region of Gandhara (modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan) between the 1st-7th centuries AD and blended Greek artistic styles with Indian Buddhist religious themes. Key characteristics include depictions of the Buddha and bodhisattvas with realistic human features and elaborate drapery.
- Gupta art of the 4th-5th centuries AD is exemplified by naturalistic sculptures like the Standing Buddha from Sarnath
The Ajanta Caves in India contain ancient Buddhist rock-cut cave monuments and paintings dating between 2nd century BCE to 650 CE. The caves were constructed in two phases, with the earliest caves built between 2nd century BCE to 1st century CE containing worship halls. A second phase from the 5th-6th century featured more elaborate caves built under the patronage of the Vataka dynasty, containing paintings depicting Buddhist stories and figures. Cave paintings are considered some of the finest surviving examples of ancient Indian art.

Company style paintings blended Indian and European artistic traditions. They were produced in India under European patronage in the 18th-19th centuries. The style combined traditional Rajput and Mughal techniques with Western perspective and realism. Most paintings were small miniatures, though natural history works were life-sized. Major centers included cities with British settlements. Famous works include the Delhi Book and Fraser Album, which documented Mughal court life. Paintings were typically created on paper for albums in a hybrid Indo-European style.
Buddhist art and architecture made substantial contributions to Indian culture in the form of stupas, viharas, chaityas, and sthambas. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the best preserved examples, with an elaborate southern gateway containing carved pillars, elephants, and dwarves. Viharas were monasteries built of brick or rock that usually had a prayer hall and cells for monks. Chaitya halls were places of worship that contained a stupa. Ashoka pillars had religious symbols and the famous lion capital from Sarnath is a peak of Mauryan sculpture. The Ajanta caves contain finely painted temples and monasteries carved into rock cliffs in the 2nd
Mughal painting emerged from Persian, Mongolian, Indian, and Islamic styles during the Mughal Empire in South Asia. It gained prominence during the rule of Akbar, Shah Jahan, and Jahangir in the 16th-17th centuries as they patronized works depicting court scenes, battles, wildlife, portraits and more. The style was influenced by two Persian artists, Mir-Sayyid and Abd-us-samad, brought to India by Emperor Humayun when he returned from exile. Key works that established the Mughal style include the 14th century Persian manuscript 'Tales of the Parrot'. The style later declined with the rise of the Rajput style during the 18th
Mughal painting developed in the court of the Mughal Empire from the 16th to 18th centuries. It emerged from Persian miniature painting, incorporating Indian influences. Mughal paintings were typically miniatures for book illustrations or single works in albums. They often depicted court scenes, portraits of rulers and nobility, or scenes from daily life and mythology. Many artists worked in the imperial atelier, including Persians who came with Humayun to India, as well as Hindu artists. The style flourished under Akbar and Jahangir, with master artists creating spectacular works, and continued during Shah Jahan's reign despite his lack of support. Today, the art form continues through artists in Lahore who produce copies
The Kushana period from 50-320 AD saw the rise of two major schools of art in northern India - the Mathura school and the Gandhara school. The Mathura school produced indigenous stone sculptures focused on Hindu and Jain themes, depicting deities like Vishnu, Shiva and the Tirthankaras in a spiritual style. The Gandhara school was influenced by Greco-Roman styles and produced realistic sculptures of Buddha in grey schist, combining Indian and Hellenistic techniques. Major themes included Buddha's life events. The Kushanas promoted religious tolerance, with Buddhism flourishing under patron Kanishka.

Deccani painting flourished in peninsular India under the Deccani sultanates from the late 16th century. It blended indigenous and foreign styles, using rich colors like gold and white. Persian influence is seen in the floral backgrounds and landscapes. Distinct styles emerged in different sultanates, like Ahmednagar, Bijapur, Golconda, and Hyderabad. Golconda paintings from the 16th-17th century often depicted dancing girls and musicians at court. Hyderabad paintings after 1724 showed royal figures and daily life. Notable works are displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi.
Mughal architecture was greatly influenced by Persian styles with the coming of the Mughals to India. They constructed excellent mausoleums, mosques, forts, gardens and cities across India. Some of the most prominent examples of Mughal architecture include Humayun's Tomb in Delhi, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Buland Darwaza, Akbar's Tomb in Sikandra, Itmad-Ud-Daula's Tomb in Agra, the Jama Masjid and Red Fort in Delhi, and the Taj Mahal in Agra. Mughal architecture reached its peak under Shah Jahan, known for his buildings made of white marble richly
The document discusses the history of sculpture and paintings in India. It notes that some of the earliest sculptures in India date back to the Indus Valley civilization in stone and bronze. As Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism developed, India produced intricate bronze sculptures and temple carvings. During the Mughal Empire from the 16th to 19th centuries, Mughal miniature paintings flourished, depicting various scenes and portraits. The paintings combined Persian influences with Indian styles and reached their height during the reigns of Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan before declining later on. Rajasthani painting also evolved from the Mughal style in the 18th century royal courts of Rajasthan.
The Rashtrakuta dynasty ruled southern India between 753-982 CE, originating as feudatories of the Badami Chalukyas. They established their empire with its base in modern Karnataka. Major contemporary dynasties included the Palas in eastern India and Paramaras in western India. The Rashtrakutas patronized Brahminical, Buddhist and Jain religions and made important contributions to art and architecture, with centers at Ellora, Aihole, Pattadakal, and Elephanta. Their rule declined in the 10th century and later empires annexed their territory, though cultural practices continued.

The document provides information on the history of painting in India from prehistoric to Mughal periods. It discusses paintings found in ancient cave sites like Ajanta and Ellora dating from 2nd century BC to 10th century AD depicting religious themes. The Mughal style evolved under Akbar in the 16th century by synthesizing indigenous Indian and Persian styles, known for naturalism and fine detail. Major painting traditions across India are described, along with materials and techniques used.
Jahangir was the fourth Mughal Emperor who ruled from 1605 until his death in 1627. He was fascinated with art, science and architecture, and wrote an autobiography. The Mughal painting reached great heights under his reign as he was interested in documenting animals and plants. Some of the most highly regarded Mughal architecture from his time includes the Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir. He died on his way back from Kashmir to Lahore in 1627.
This document summarizes several important art movements in India, including medieval sculpture, Mughal painting, and modern movements like the Bengal School. During the medieval period, sculpture flourished and temples were decorated with stone and bronze sculptures. Mughal painting developed under royal patronage between the 16th-19th centuries and was influenced by Persian and Indian styles. In modern times, the Bengal School pioneered a nationalist Indian art style in the early 1900s, while later groups like the Calcutta Group and Progressive Artists Group experimented with new techniques and styles.
Company style paintings blended Indian and European artistic traditions. They were produced in India under European patronage in the 18th-19th centuries.

Periodic Styles in Indian Traditional Art - Mughal, Kangra, MiniaturePrayag Mohanty
Periodic Styles in Indian Traditional Art showcase the rich cultural heritage and artistic excellence that has evolved over centuries. Among these, three prominent styles stand out: Mughal, Kangra, and Miniature. Each style reflects distinct influences, techniques, and thematic representations, contributing to the diverse tapestry of Indian art.
1. **Mughal Art:**
Mughal art flourished during the Mughal Empire (16th to 18th centuries) under the patronage of emperors like Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan. It is characterized by its intricate detailing, vivid colors, and a fusion of Persian, Islamic, and Indian styles. Mughal paintings often depict historical events, court scenes, flora, fauna, and portraits of rulers and nobility. Artists employed techniques like meticulous brushwork, precise draftsmanship, and the extensive use of gold leaf to create opulent and lifelike compositions.
2. **Kangra Art:**
Kangra painting originated in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh during the 17th to 19th centuries. It embodies the serene beauty of nature, love, and devotion. Kangra paintings are renowned for their delicate lines, pastel hues, and ethereal imagery, often depicting scenes from Hindu mythology, particularly the love stories of Radha and Krishna. Artists of Kangra school mastered the art of portraying emotions through subtle facial expressions and graceful gestures. The use of natural pigments derived from minerals and plants imparts a soft and luminous quality to these exquisite works of art.
3. **Miniature Art:**
Miniature painting is a meticulous and intricate art form that reached its pinnacle during the Mughal and Rajput periods (16th to 19th centuries). Miniatures are characterized by their diminutive size and elaborate detailing. Artists employed fine brushes, often made from squirrel hair, to create miniature masterpieces on materials such as paper, ivory, or cloth. Themes ranged from courtly scenes, religious narratives, and portraits to landscapes and flora. Miniatures are distinguished by their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the artist's skill and imagination within a confined space.
These Periodic Styles in Indian Traditional Art not only serve as visual representations of history, culture, and mythology but also as enduring testaments to the artistic genius and creativity of Indian artisans through the ages. Each style encapsulates its own unique blend of techniques, themes, and aesthetics, contributing to the rich tapestry of India's artistic heritage.
This document contains summaries of several famous artists:
- Leonardo da Vinci was a renowned Renaissance artist and scientist who influenced painting for over a century with works like the Mona Lisa.
- Rembrandt was the greatest Dutch artist, known for religious scenes and portraits as well as drawings and etchings. His most famous painting is The Night Watch.
- Raja Ravi Varma fused European techniques with Indian sensibilities and increased art's reach through affordable lithographs of his paintings depicting Hindu themes.
- MF Husain was a leading Indian modernist associated with the Progressive Artists Group, known for narrative paintings on diverse themes sometimes in a modified Cubist style.

A MINIATURE PAINTING OF MEDIVAL PERIOD
INTRODUCTION
Indian painting has a very long tradition and history in Indian art.
The earliest Indian paintings were the rock paintings of pre-historic times, the petroglyphs as found in places like Bhimbetka , some of them from before 5500 BC.
India's Buddhist literature is replete with examples of texts which describe palaces of the army and the aristocratic class embellished with paintings, but the paintings of the Ajanta Caves are the most significant of the few survivals.
Indian paintings provide an aesthetic continuum that extends from the early civilisation to the present day.
From being essentially religious in purpose in the beginning, Indian painting has evolved over the years to become a fusion of various cultures and traditions.

PAINTING OF AJANTA CAVES
Paintings of Ajanta caves are mainly based on the episodes drawn from the life of Lord Buddha .
Ajanta caves are the treasure house of delicate paintings. Some of them also portray scenes from Jataka tales.
The temples are excavated out of batholitic cliffs on the inner side of a seventy-foot valley in the Wagurna River vale, at a site where beauty dropped her image.

Features of Paintings of Ajanta
The Ajanta paintings stresses on religious romanticism with lyric quality, a reflection of the view that every aspect of life has an equal value in the spiritual sense and as an aspect of the divine.
The paintings are done by covering the rough surface of the wall with a layer of clay or cow dung mixed with chopped straw or animal hair. When this has been smoothed and levelled, it is given a varnish of fine white clay or gypsum and it is on this ground that the painting is done.
Ceiling Paintings of Ajanta
The most famous paintings at Ajanta caves are in `Cave I`. The shape of the cave is a square hall with the roof supported by rows of pillars.
There is a rock cut image of a seated Buddha at the back of the shrine. The most unusual feature of the cave is parts of the complete decoration of the flat ceiling. There are scenes carved from the life of Lord Buddha as well as a number of ornamental motifs.
In the paintings of Ajanta there are beautifully drawn female figures of dusky complexion wearing towering head-dresses that strongly resembles the sophisticated mukuta, crowning the Bodhisattva himself.
. This is a representation of the Shakti or female of the Bodhisattva, one of the many indications of the intrusions of Hindu concepts into Buddhism .
The paintings of the ceiling of Cave I at Ajanta is executed in a more flat, enhancing style and the space is divided into a number of adjacent panels square and rectangular in form, which are filled with subjects and showy
European artists in the 18th century brought new styles of visual art to India under British rule, including techniques like oil painting that enabled realistic depictions.
