Introduction to the Study of Indo-Persian Painting
| Title: | Introduction to the Study of Indo-Persian Painting | | Author: | Suhrawardy, Shahid | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 11 Issue no. 3; June 1958, p. 21-29 + 1 unnumbered leaf between p. 20-21 | | Abstract: | The writer justifies the term "Indo-Persian" for Mughal painting, describes the original features of Persian painting to indicate their presence in Indian medieval art (both Mughal and Rajput), and emphasizes the similarities and differences between Mughal and medieval Hindu art. Mughal paintings were a closed, eclectic, and aristocratic art, and not for mass admiration. They borrowed their technique and subject-matter from Persian paintings. Some traits of Rajasthani or Pahari art may have been derived from Persian paintings. It is concluded that Hindu art was not independent of Persian influence, and that Rajasthani, Pahari and Mughal paintings were the three branches of Indo-Persian art.
