Akbar (1556-1605CE), was an extraordinary ruler, who not only consolidated the political power of his empire but also greatly influenced the artistic and cultural life of India. while consolidating Mughal dynastic empire in India, evolved a court style of painting, usually designated as the “Mughal style” painting. It was a rolling art movement which started with fusion of the Timurid style with local (Pre Rajsthani) painting tradition. A large atelier of painters worked for him and mostly produced illustrated manuscript besides individual paintings.
