Perhaps the 17th and 18th centuries were a period when miniature painting as an art reached its acme in many regions of India. The landscapes of these regions, so beautiful and opulent, that they inspired miniature paintings of various schools and became a mirror to nature and its changing seasons. Also, they reflected vignettes of royal life in the courts of maharajas and nawabs and included portraits of beautiful women or an artistic tribute to the iconic lovers Radha and Krishna. Various schools of miniature painting developed in India from the Mughal period onwards and master artists worked at the courts of Rajput and Muslim kings and nawabs to produce a fabulous plethora of paintings which is considered a world class art treasure today.
