One of the most powerful & exotic of all the world's great dynasties the Mughals ruled India from 1526 to 1858. During this time they produced an astonishing number of rulers of outstanding ability who operated in a hugely diverse & complex religious linguistic & social environment. The Mughals were great patrons of the arts using them to underpin their political position & leaving behind a particularly rich legacy of visual art. This book showcases the British Library's extensive collection of illustrated manuscripts & paintings that were commissioned by Mughal emperors & other officials & depict the splendour & vibrant colour of Mughal life. The exquisitely decorated works span four centuries from the foundation of the Mughal dynasty by Babur in the sixteenth century through the heights of the empire & the ' Great' Mughal emperors of the seventeenth century into the decline & eventual collapse in the nineteenth century. The lavish artworks cover a variety of subject matter from scenes of courtly life including lively hunting parties & formal portraits of emperors to illustrations of works of literature which manage to convey complex storylines in a single image & dramatic panoramas of Indian landscapes. The development of a Mughal style of art can be traced through the illustrations & paintings as can the influence of European styles originally as imported exotica. Many of these works have never before been published & combined here with the engaging narrative of two subject experts who place each image within its historical & art historical context they serve to provide us with a beautiful & illuminating view of the art & culture of Mughal India. ...
