Basawan and Suraj Gujrati. Illustration from Baburnama or Memoirs of Babur, ca. 183-1530.

Baburnama is an autobiographical account by Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur, a descendant of Timur and the first Mughal king of India. The miniatures are from an illustrated copy of the Baburnama prepared for the author's grandson, the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar’s commissions were divided up among teams of artists working at the court, and often two painters collaborated on a single image, in addition to the calligraphers. This particular illustration is attributed to Basawan, responsible for the composition and the drawing, and Suraj Gujarati, who painted it. The miniatures reflect the culture of the Mughal court at Delhi, and are important as evidence of the tradition of exquisite miniature painting which developed at the court of Timur and his successors. Timurid miniatures are among the greatest artistic achievements of the Islamic world in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Mihrdukht Aims her Arrow at the Ring

The Hamzanama, or the Dastan-e-Hamza, is an extraordinary epic story, originating in various forms in Central and South Asia, in the late 900s-1000 BC. It tells the story of Hamza, a warrior, and his various exploits, involving adventure, romance, betrayal, and combat. In this painting, created in India by the artist Basawan, in the 1500s, the warrior Mihrdukht performs a feat of archery, shooting her arrow through a ring set in the mouth of a golden bird, which is on top of a tall pole. Hamza's son, Hamid, matches the feat, and wins her hand in marriage. This painting is the collections of the Met Museum, but is not on display.

"Alexander Visits the Sage Plato in his Mountain Cave"Folio from a Khamsa (Quintet) of Amir Khusrau Dihlavi

For the gallery trip, I made a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to look at some actual miniature paintings they had on display. These works were located in the Islamic wing. Unfortunately one of the works that I had seen on my last visit was currently not on display this time, but I had a picture of it from before that I thought I should share with you guys because it is one of the peices that greatly influenced some if the paintings I plan on making.

The painting is made by the court painter, Basawan, during the Mughal period. The painting depicts a tale from the stories of the famed poet Amir Khusrau, who wrote a quintet about Alexander the Great's tales in South Asia.

Out of many of the paintings that were showcased in the museum on my last trip, this one caught my attention due to the way the artist was able to paint such small details in the work. The colors in the painting also made it stand out to me because most of the foreground uses a pretty earthy tone, but then the pop of colors from the clothing of the figures makes them stand out. I loved the layout of the composition. Most Mughal miniature paintings tend to be flat in perspective, but Basawan's works show a bit more of an atmospheric.

It's unfortunate that the work was not available to be viewed, but I had asked one of the member service people at the front if they plan on showcasing it again soon. She said that the works tend to be rotated every couple months or year, so it may be up for viewing again.

The Young Emperor Akbar Arrests the Insolent Shah Abu’l-Maali, page from a manuscript of the Akbarnama, Basawan, 1585, Art Institute of Chicago: Asian Art

This is a page from the Akbarnama (Book of Akbar), a lavishly illustrated manuscript commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605) to document the history of his rule. The scene depicts the emperor at age thirteen, three days after his accession. Seated on a gold throne placed on a carpeted platform, Akbar watches as his late father’s favorite is arrested for his insolent behavior toward the young emperor. The setting—a tented encampment pitched in a garden—is significant, for Akbar spent much of his reign on the move. Through his active campaigning and strong administrative skills, he greatly expanded the Mughal Empire, consolidating and securing it for his successors. In addition, he was a great patron of the arts, initiating a new style of painting and establishing a vast atelier and library. One of the new themes the emperor encouraged was the painting of historical manuscripts such as the Akbarnama. Commissioned in 1589, it was written by court historian and biographer Abu’l Fazl between 1590 and 1596. Simultaneously, a workshop of about fifty artists illustrated the text. Basawan, the designer of this painting, whose signature appears in the lower margin in red, was one of the studio’s leading painters. He was particularly skilled in portraiture and is known to have painted the faces of the young emperor and the two other figures in front of him: the regent Bairam Khan, who is standing, and the disgraced Shah Abu’l-Ma'ali, who crouches in a red robe. He also painted some of the nearby scenery, which attracted his interest; each painting was collaborative work and could take up to a month to complete.
