MUGHAL MINIATURES : Baburnama and Akbarnama, Books with Miniature Illustrations
Mughal Miniature Paintings are the pictorial history of India's Medieval. The style of painting known as Mughal Miniature was practiced in India from 16th to 19th century. When Emperor Akbar was ruling major part of the Indian subcontinent, this art gained its prominence. Influenced by the pre-existing Persian Style of Miniature Painting, this art was mainly done for illustrations of the books in its initial spell. Afterwards the artists started painting subjects independent from the books. However they kept depicting the mythological scenes from Indian scriptures and other historical books. These miniature paints depicted various themes and subjects. And these subjects varied from time to time.
Baburnama: This book Baburnama or Babarnama is autography of the first Mughal Emperor Babur. Being himself a poet, he had written and assisted in writing the script of the book. We can se from the writing of the book that how learned man he was. Though he kept fighting many wars on the soil of India to establish his kingdom, he had kept his literary spirit alive. His autobiography and the illustrations depict many scenes from the wars he fought and won. The war of Panipat was one of the greatest and fate-deciding wars. The artists have painted emperors Babur's life in miniature paintings.
Akbarnama: After death of Emperor Babur his son Humayun succeeded him. He saw many ups and downs in his career as an emperor; he lost wars and he won wars until he finally regained control of the capital of his empire, Delhi. During the time he was wandering aroundAfghanistan and Persia, he met some of the miniature artists. He impressed upon two great Persian artists of the time and invited them to India. The work of these artists changed the fate of the miniature painting style of India.
