The Survey of Rise and Fall of the Impact of Iranian Paintings on Mughal Painting School in India

The epoch of Gorkanian may be considered as a turning point in the soaring of the Iranian culture and art in the Subcontinent. The continuous support given by the kings of this dynasty to Iranian migrant painters has had a great impact on the paintings of the Subcontinent of that era. The climax of this trend is manifested in the remaining paintings of the time. This art had a different route and style in the era of the succeeding kings, as gradually the influence of the Iranian paintings diminished with time. The present study will explore the causes of the rise and fall of this art in the Subcontinent.
