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.
