Samenvatting
A visual and intellectual treat awaits the reader of this book, ranging from monumental architecture, sumptuous textiles, a flood of the finest miniature paintings down to exquisitely crafted objects of jade – all marked by a common aesthetic coherence that is the hallmark of Mughal style. Analyzing the influences that constitute this style – the Central Asian inheritance, the artistic practices of Persia, and the incalculably rich indigenous tradition – the book also examines the various materials and techniques through which the Mughals gave expression to their artistic impulses. Representing a period of almost three centuries, these works have retained their unparalleled beauty and sophistication.
