Moghul Art.

Salaams all... As I understand it Moghul Art was a two dimensional form and carried out to honour the various Moghul leaders down the ages.. Apparently painted by numerous students and artists... the younger students or apprentices taking on the easier subject matter before passing it on for the older and more senior artists to complete the finer details on the more difficult subject matter. They seem to have titles like "Jehangir kills the Lion" or somesuch explanation and done by different artists and art houses will have different emphasis and detail..There are a lot of very well made copies though an original will be well sought after. Even today the same recipes are used for the antique paints.
Salaams,
