This major exhibition
celebrates the extraordinary creative output and internationalist culture of
the Golden Age of the Mughal Court (about 1560 – 1660) during the reigns of its
most famous emperors: Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan.
The Great Mughals presents, for the first time the opulent,
internationalist culture of Mughal Hindustan in the age of its greatest
emperors: Akbar (r.1556-1605), Jahangir (r.1605-1627) and Shah Jahan
(r.1628-1658).Providing a compelling new narrative to describe the origins of
Mughal art, it explores how a huge Iranian influence permeated the
sophisticated craft traditions of the Indian subcontinent to create a
distinctively Mughal court are included: from contemporary portraits to
jewelled gold vessels and carpets.In chapters that conjure the unique dynamics
of each reign, essays with historical sweep combine with texts focused on
important objects to tell unexpected stories about a dynasty perhaps best known
for commissioning the Taj Mahal.
