EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Akbar Mounting his Horse" takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of India. The image is a page from the Chester Beatty Akbar Nama, also known as the History of Akbar, created between 1605 and 1607. The artwork showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Mughal school, attributed to an anonymous artist from this era. Using ink and vibrant colors on paper, they have beautifully depicted Emperor Akbar mounting his majestic horse. The nim qalam drawing technique employed here adds depth and intricacy to every stroke. As we admire this piece, we are transported to a time when power and elegance were intertwined in Indian culture. Sur Das Gujarati's influence can be seen in this painting as he was one of the renowned artists associated with Mughal art during that period. Now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of India's rich heritage and provides an opportunity for viewers around the world to connect with its cultural roots.
