Delhi Paintings


Delhi paintings owe their origin to the Mughal miniature paintings. During the Mughal rule in India, culture and learning reached its zenith. The Mughals were great lovers of art and architecture. Mughal paintings are an interesting point of study for the Indian historians and archaeologists. The art galleries and museums in Delhi have a wonderful collection of miniature paintings, marble paintings, paper paintings, manuscripts and so on. Besides the handicrafts are also an important part of the Delhi paintings.

Delhi culture gives a taste of the Mughal culture. The Mughal artists are remarkable for their significant contribution to painting. There were various schools during the reign of the last Mughal ruler, Bahadur Shah Zafar. The schools imparted quality training to the people, who took interest in art and sculpture. Each school was distinct from the other and followed their unique style. The Iranian style was also blended along with their styles and the content was either lyrical or narrative. Artists like Imam Bakhsh, Dip Chand and Chitarman made significant contributions in the field of art and enriched the Mughal painting, which earned worldwide fame.

The prolonged reign of the Mughals left a mark in the Delhi culture, which is portrayed through the Delhi paintings.
