An exhibition of Indian miniature paintings, entitled “Scenes from the Moghul Court,” is running at the C.S.A. Gallery until March 19. The paintings were collected in Delhi, Jaipur and Udaipur. Miniature painting was one of the many art forms to flourish under the Moghul rulers of India during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Like the Taj Mahal and other superb reminders
of that Empire, Indian Miniature paintings of Moghul Court life remain today.
The artists use water colour pigment ground from coloured stones and earths but utilise some modern equipment.
Portraits of the Emperor, his wives, members of the court and courtly life are the main themes of such paintings, which are produced mainly in Rajasthan and Delhi.
