Mughal miniature painting - Mughal miniature painting

Japanese: ムガル細密画 - ムガルさいみつが

Miniature painting, which originated from Persian miniature painting, was produced in the courts of the Mughal Empire in India. The subject matter was secular and realistic, and the drawing technique was realistic, which contrasts sharply with Rajput painting of the same period. In the early period, painters from the Tabriz school of the Safavid dynasty in Persia were invited to the country, and many illustrated manuscripts were brought, and they absorbed the techniques of Persian miniature painting. During the reign of the third emperor, Akbar (reigned 1556-1605), Indian painters gradually came to assume leading positions, and Indian tendencies became stronger, leading to the distinctive style of Mughal painting becoming more clearly defined.

ペルシアの細密画を祖として，インドのムガル帝国の宮廷で行われた細密画。主題は世俗的かつ現実的であり，描法は写実的で，同時期のラージプート絵画と著しい対照をみせている。その最初期は，ペルシアのサファビー朝のタブリーズ派の画家が招かれ，多数の挿絵入り写本がもたらされて，もっぱらペルシア細密画の技法を消化吸収した時代である。第3代皇帝アクバル(在位1556‐1605)のときには，インド人の画家がしだいに指導的地位につき，インド的傾向が強まってムガル絵画独自の様式が明瞭になった。
