Main Features of the Mughal Paintings in India

1. Confined to Mughal court: Mughal painting remained confined to the Mughal court and did not reach the people. 2.

At the same time they patronized Indian painters and the collaboration between these two schools of painters resulted in the synthesis. image source: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/d5/c4/46/d5c44681ef62849b6861188bee08a3bf.jpg [...]
