NCERT (2026-27): “Ahmadnagar School of Painting …The original paintings in the Gulistan of 1567 have been attributed by art historians to the Bukhara artists. Another interesting fact is that such painters may also have worked in the Deccan. This supported by a manuscript is now in the collection of Bankipore Library, Patna. It is signed by a scribe, Yusuf, and is dedicated to Ibrahim Adil (1569), presumably Ibrahim Qutb Shah of Golconda, who ruled from 1550–1580.” “Bijapur School of Painting …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.” “Sultan Adil Shah II playing Tambura, Farrukh Beg, Bijapur, 1595–1600, National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic” “Poet in a Garden, Muhammad Ali, Golconda, 1605–1615, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA” |
