DESCRIPTION
The Mughal Emperor Shahjahan (1628-58), Mughal, c.1650. Shahjahan is depicted at about the time of his entry into his new capital of Shahjahanabad in 1648. He enjoyed his triumph for only ten years before his illness precipitated a succession crisis and an all-out war between his four sons. He was dethroned by the victor, his third son Aurangzeb, and was imprisoned in the Red Fort at Agra where he died in 1666.

The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
