Mughal
Describes the culture, periods and styles of northern and central India under the Mughal emperors. Known for its naturalism, intricacy, luminosity and pluralism in both style and subject matter, Mughal miniature painting borrowed from styles as diverse as Persian miniatures, pre-existing manuscript paintings in South Asia and European Renaissance images. As patrons of architecture, the Mughals commissioned some of the finest buildings known to the world.
