Option 3 : Jahangir

The correct answer is Jahangir.

  • During Jahangir's reign (1605-1627), Mughal Paintings reached its zenith.
  • He took inspiration from his life events and pushed for paintings on those scenarios rather than illustrations on fiction.
  • His themes were mostly secular.
  • He encouraged portrait, scientific studies of birds, animals, and flowers collected in albums.
  • His famous paintings include Mansur and Manohar. 
  • But during the reign of Aurangzeb (1659-1707), Mughal Paintings started to decline.
  • While the period of Muhammad Shah experienced a short revival of the Mughal Paintings, the onset of Shah Alam II almost made the art non-existent.
  • As a result of artisans leaving Mughal emperor for the Rajput empire, the Rajput Paintings started developing.

  • Akbar ruling period (1556-1605 AD) was known as a golden period for Mughals Administration.
  • Shah Jahan ruling period (1628-1658 AD) was a golden period for Mughal Architecture.
