30 Beautiful Indian Mughal Paintings for Your Inspiration

Mughal painting is a particular style of South Asian painting, generally confined to miniatures, either as book illustrations or as single works. It emerged from Persian miniature painting with Indian Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist influences, developed largely during the Mughal Empire (16th–19th centuries), and later spread to other Indian courts, including Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh courts. Mughal painting developed and flourished during the reigns of Akbar, Shah Jahan, and Jahangir. Mughal-style miniature paintings are still created today by a small number of artists in Rajasthan.
