"Lucid, detailed, and original, these essays on Mughal painting survey this art form as well as provide an introduction to the Mughalart of book - illustration, portraiture, and genre pictures. They showcase the Mughal artists' concern for both aesthetic appeal and intellectual message." "Focusing on the origin and development of Mughal painting, S.P. Verma analyses key aspects like artists' signatures, namesakes and their identity, and the evidence on self portrait painting in Indian art. He highlights the impact of Persian influence and Renaissance humanism on Mughal painting. Using pictorial evidence, the author also investigates areas like technology and firearms, flora and fauna, and ordinary day-to-day life during the Mughal period."--Jacket.
