Mughal Painters and Their Work A Biographical Survey and Comprehensive Catalogue

An invaluable reference work, this catalogue offers the first critical documentation of the 300-odd miniature painters who worked in the Mughal style over the period 1550-1707, spanning the reigns of the Mughal emperors Humayun to Aurangzeb. Biographical sketches precede each entry, which is listed alphabetically. A unique feature is the scholarly transliteration and translation of all Persian inscriptions on the paintings on the basis of which attributions have been made, sometimes mistakenly. The catalogue is preceded by an introduction which gives the social, historical, and artistic context within which the painters worked.Verman, Som P. is the author of 'Mughal Painters and Their Work A Biographical Survey and Comprehensive Catalogue' with ISBN 9780195623161 and ISBN 0195623169.
