'Princes and Painters in Mughal Delhi, 1707 - 1857'

At the peak of their power, from the mid-16th century through 1857, the Mughals ruled over some 100 million subjects — five times the number ruled by their only rivals, the Ottomans. From the ramparts of the Delhi Red Fort, the seat of power, the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan — who commissioned the Taj Mahal — controlled almost all of India, what is now Pakistan and Bangladesh, and much of Afghanistan.

For their impoverished contemporaries in the west, the Mughals became symbols of luxury and might — attributes with which the word “mogul” is still loaded. This exhibition, at Asia Society Museum, the first ever to focus on the art of the later Mughals, aims to showcase the neglected masterpieces of this period and to provide a taste of the extraordinary strength, color, and vivacity of the work produced in the Mughal capital at this time.

 

“I can’t prove my art’s any good, or that it means what I say it means. And nothing I say can improve the way it looks.” ~ Ken Price
