Mughal Miniature is a form of painting that flourished in the Mughal Empire from the 16th to the 19th centuries. These small, detailed artworks often illustrated historical events, court scenes, and religious themes. Artists used vibrant colors and intricate designs, showcasing a blend of Persian, Indian, and Islamic styles. The paintings were typically created on paper and served as illustrations for manuscripts or as standalone pieces. Mughal emperors, such as Akbar and Shah Jahan, patronized these artists, leading to a rich tradition that emphasized realism, emotion, and elaborate backgrounds, making them significant in the history of art.
