Painting sought wholehearted encouragement during the Mughal period. Both Babar and Humayun were art-loving. Two artists had accompanied Humayun from Iran. But Humayun expired before his art flourished.

1. Painting during Akbar’s period: Painting during Akbar’s period got an Indian touch hence the effect of foreign touch gradually disappeared. The chief painters in Akbar’s court were: Sanwal Dass, Jagannath, Tarachand, etc. Akbar opened a separate department for the progress of painting with Abdul Samad as its head. The Mughal style began reflecting itself during this period which was an admixture of Indian and Iranian art.
2. Painting during Jahangir’s Period: Jahangir was so well conversant in art and paintings that he could name the painter on seeing the painting. His chief painters were - Aga Raza, Abdul Hussain, Mohammad Nadir, and Mohammad Murad. Jahangir spent lavishly on the progress of the painting. The Indian reflection replaced the Iranian reflection now.
3. Painting during Shah Jahan’s period: Shah Jahan had a special taste for architecture. But it cannot be said with certainty that Shah Jahan’s period remained untouched in the field of painting. The chief painters of this time were: Mir Hassan, Anoop, Chinamani, Chitra, etc. Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan had a special taste for painting. His favourite painters were: Faqui Ullah, Mir Kasim, etc.
4. Painting in Aurangzeb’s Period: Aurangzeb was a staunch Mohammedan. He used to say, “To encourage painting is against the dictates of the Quran”. He discharged his court painters. He got the paintings made on the walls of Fatehpur Sikri erected. The jobless painters sought shelter in neighbouring states like Avadh, Mysore, Hyderabad, etc.
   Chief characteristics of Paintings of the Mughal period:
   1. ​​​Paintings of the Mughal period were beyond the lives of the laymen. That was deemed as only the thing of the court. Hence the royal families, natural scenes, wars, animal fights, hunting, royal processions, etc. were pointed in the paintings of this period.
   2. There was no painting related to religious matters in Mughal paintings whereas there was an overflow of paintings on earthly and natural beauty.
   3. Special emphasis was laid on natural scenes in the paintings of the Mughal period. The natural and scenic beauty was portrayed in the background of every painting.
   4. Special emphasis was laid on the individual paintings of the Mughal ruler since the painters not only gained financially but also came in the good books of the ruling class. On gaining their pleasure, the painters got a place in the royal court.

Please ask question with complete information.

In the sixteenth century, the Mughal ruler Humayun brought artists from Persia, who specialized in miniature painting.

The succeeding Mughal Emperor, Akbar built an atelier for them to promote the rich art form.

These artists, on their part, trained Indian artists who produced paintings in a new distinctive style, inspired by the royal and romantic lives of the Mughals.

The particular miniature produced by Indian artists in their own style is known as Rajput or Rajasthani miniature.

This predilection for roman and fantasy is reflected in their choice of subject matter for painting.

During this time, several schools of painting evolved, such as Mewar (Udaipur), Bundi, Kotah, Marwar (Jodhpur), Bikaner, Jaipur, and Kishangarh.

These paintings are done with utmost care and in minute details, with strong lines and bold colours set in harmonious patterns.

The miniature artists use paper, ivory panels, wooden tablets, leather, marble, cloth and walls for their paintings.

Indian artists employed multiple perspectives unlike their European counterparts in their paintings.

The colours are made from minerals and vegetables, precious stones, as well as pure silver and gold.

The preparing and mixing of colour is an elaborate process.

It takes weeks, sometimes months, to get the desired results.

The brushes are required to be very fine, and to get high-quality results, brushes even to this very day are made from hair of squirrels.

Traditionally, the paintings are aristocratic, individualistic and strong in portraiture, where the plush court scenes and hunting expedition of royalty are depicted.

Flowers and animals are also the recurrent images in the paintings.

The Kishangarh province in Rajasthan is known for its Bani Thani paintings.

It is a totally different style with highly exaggerated features like long necks, large, almond shaped eyes, and long fingers.

This style of painting essentially depicts Radha and Krishna as divine lovers, and beautifully portrays their mystical love.

Kishangarh miniature painting reached a peak in the eighteenth century, during the rule of Raja Sawant Singh, who fell in love with a slave girl, Bani Thani and commanded his artists to portray himself and her as Krishna and Radha.

Other themes of Bani Thani paintings include portraits, court scenes, dancing, hunting, music parties, nauka vihar (lovers travelling in a boat), Krishna Lila, Bhagavata Purana and various other festivals like Holi, Diwali, Durga puja, and Dussehra.

Thi ssyle of Rajasthani school is characterised by primitive vigour, bold outlines and brilliant colours set into harmonious patterns.

However, with the passage of time, the natural colours have been replaced by poster colours.

The schools of miniature have also been commercialized, and the artists mostly replicate the work produced by the old painters.

Contemporary Indian paintings are more realistic and understandable, due to the information available for the people who view.
Since the world has changed a lot, new generation wants to get their ideas painted in their favourite format. Instead of searching and analysing the ideas in the old style of paintings.
