The Mughal Blooms in Miniature Painting by Mohan Prajapati

Eminent artist Mohan Prajapati masterfully resurrects the rich heritage of Mughal miniature painting with his exquisite creation, “The Mughal Blooms.” This Persian-influenced botanical series showcases the delicate brushwork that characterizes this age-old art form. With roots stretching back to the 6th and 7th centuries BCE, the Mughal School of miniature painting evolved through a captivating fusion of Indian and Safavid Persian styles. It flourished under the patronage of illustrious Mughal emperors like Akbar and Jahangir, becoming the primary mode of historical archiving. Today, the traditional skills are lovingly passed down through generations, with Rajasthan being a steadfast guardian of the Mughal miniature painting tradition. Prajapati’s work pays homage to this extraordinary art form, celebrating the intricate patterns, vivid color theory, and the timeless motifs that continue to captivate and inspire art enthusiasts worldwide.
