Identify the artist from Iran who accompanied Emperor Humayun to Delhi.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Abdus Samad
Artists from Iran also made their way to Mughal India. Some were brought to the Mughal court, as in the case of Mir Sayyid Ali and Abdus Samad, who were made to accompany Emperor Humayun to Delhi. Others migrated in search of opportunities to win patronage and prestige. A conflict between the emperor and the spokesmen of orthodox Muslim opinion on the question of visual representations of living beings was a source of tension at the Mughal court.
