[From back cover] Mughal patrons and artists doted on the world and its inhabitants. No pains were spared to record them realistically in life-oriented pictures, usually of people and animals. The people are exceptionalâsome of mankind's most extraordinary worldlings and wisest saints, shown in depth, to be scrutinized inside and out. All the folios reproduced here were made for the Mughal emperors o£ India or their immediate families during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They were intense essences of their culture, showing emperors and their courts in elaborate settings, scenes of suspense and excitement depleting hunts, demons, and elegant elephants, as well as a group of striking genre scenes in which the subtle rendering of light, learned from European painting, imparts a poetic quality that provides a striking contrast to the highly finished treatment of the royal portraits. The Introduction and Commentaries to the individual folios reproduced here have been provided by Stuart Gary Welch of The Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University.
