Mughal painting is a particular style of Indian painting, usually confined to illustrations in the book and made in miniature, and which emerged, developed and took shape during the period of the Mughal Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.
Mughal's paintings were a unique blend of Indian, Persian, and Islamic styles. Since the Mongol kings wanted visual records of their achievements as hunters and conquerors, their artists accompanied them on military expeditions or state missions, or recorded their prowess as animal killers, or represented them in the great dynastic wedding ceremonies.
The reign of Akbar (1556–1605) ushered in a new era in Indian miniature painting. After consolidating his political power, he built a new capital in Fatehpur Sikri, where he brought together artists from India and Persia. He was the first monarch to set up a workshop in India under the supervision of two Persian masters, Mir Sayyed Ali and Abdus Samad. Previously, they had both served under Humayun's sponsorship in Kabul and accompanied him to India when he regained his throne in 1555. More than 100 painters were employed, most of whom were Gujarat, Gwalior and Kashmir Hindus, who gave birth. of a new school of painting, popularly known as the Mughal School of Miniature Paintings.
