The correct answer is option 2- (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I) The school of Bijapur was patronised by Ali Adil Shah I (1558–1580) and his successor Ibrahim II (1580–1627), both patrons of art and literature. The latter was also an expert in Indian music and author of a book on this subject, Nauras-nama. He was the owner of Nujum al-Ulum manuscript and might have commissioned the Ragamala series in the 1590s. Bijapur had a close connection with Turkey and astronomical illustrations in Nujum al-Ulum may have been derived from Ottoman Turkish manuscripts. The Ragamala are, as we have seen, Indian in their connections, with definite echoes of the Lepakshi style. They exemplify the luxuriant aestheticism of the Adil Shah court in their daring and brilliantly successful colouring and vigour of simplified compositions. The manuscript in the Bankipore Library, Patna, contains seven miniatures in the Bukhara idiom of that date. An illustrated manuscript Tarif–i–Hussain Shahi shows a painting 'King sitting on the Throne', Ahmadnagar, 1565–1569. It is housed in Bharata Itihasa Samshodaka Mandala, Poona (Maharashtra). Nujum al-Ulum: The Throne of Prosperity, Bijapur, 1570, Housed at The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland. |
