EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio, dating back to the late 16th century, is an exquisite example of Mughal art from the Akbarnama, or the 'History of Akbar.' The illustration depicts a pivotal moment during Humayun's campaign in Gujarat, India, in 1535. Humayun, the second Mughal Emperor of India, is shown on horseback, pursuing his rival, Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, who is fleeing the battlefield. The scene is rendered in opaque watercolor, gold, and ink on paper, showcasing the exceptional skill and artistry of the Mughal school. The Akbarnama is a monumental illustrated manuscript, commissioned by Akbar, the third Mughal Emperor, to chronicle the history of his father, Humayun. This folio is believed to have been created around 1590, during Akbar's reign. The Mughal Empire, which flourished in India, Iran, and other parts of South and Southeast Asia from the late 16th to the mid-19th centuries, is renowned for its rich artistic heritage. The intricate details in this illustration are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic techniques of the Mughal school. The use of gold and vibrant colors adds a regal and majestic quality to the painting, while the delicate script in the Persian language adorns the borders, highlighting the importance of literature and history in Mughal culture. This folio, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Asian art. It offers a unique glimpse into the history, art, and culture of the Mughal Empire and the broader Asian continent during the 16th century.
