Which of the following ruler Persian Maestro artists 'Mir Sayyid Ali' and 'Abd us Samad' were brought to India? |
Babur Sher Shah Humayun Shah Jahan |
Humayun |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Humayun With the assistance of Shah Tahmasp, Humayun established his court in Kabul in 1545. Humayun increasingly identified himself with a political and cultural agenda for his dynastic empire that was eclectic and assimilative. Impressed by the artists and with an ambition to recreate such art workshops in India, Humayun brought back with him the master artists when he regained power in India. He invited two Persian artists — Mir Sayyid Ali and Abd us Samad to establish a studio in his court and carry out royal paintings. It is important to note here that both the artists were famous and respected particularly for their skills in the art of portraiture. |
