Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

After several centuries of division, India was largely unified under the Mughal empire (1526-1857). The Mughal emperors are renowned as great builders, but also as patrons of the fine arts, especially painting. This course aims to introduce to this facet of Mughal art. It will underline its debt to previous painting and especially book painting schools in the Islamic world and particularly Iran, and analyze its specificities. It will introduce to the main sources about, and collections of Mughal painting. Then, it will follow a chrono-thematic plan that will present the main developments as well as problems that are specific to this area, such as the genres and themes of Mughal painting; the multiplicity of its sources of inspiration, from Iran to indigenous schools and Renaissance Europe; the activities and workings of the imperial atelier and its individual members, from painters to illuminators, border decorators, bookbinders…. The course will also examine the imperial Mughal style in comparison to the local Rajput styles.
