This lecture will examine the ways in which late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Rajasthani and Mughal portraiture was an important medium of cultural exchange. In addition to the movement of itinerant artists across northern India, gifted and collected miniature portraits were responsible for the evolution of regional painting styles as well as shifting definitions of the portrait genre. A series of Mughal and Rajput portraits of the Bundi ruling family will serve as a case study.
This Lecture is part of the Postgraduate Southasian Painting Course “ARTS OF THE BOOK IN SOUTH ASIA”
