In Mughal Occidentalism, Mika Natif elucidates the meaningful and
complex ways in which Mughal artists engaged with European art and
techniques from the 1580s-1630s. Using visual and textual sources,
this book argues that artists repurposed Christian and Renaissance
visual idioms to embody themes from classical Persian literature
and represent Mughal policy, ideology and dynastic history. A
reevaluation of illustrated manuscripts and album paintings
incorporating landscape scenery, portraiture, and European objects
demonstrates that the appropriation of European elements was highly
motivated by Mughal concerns. This book aims to establish a better
understanding of cross-cultural exchange from the Mughal
perspective by emphasizing the agency of local artists active in
the workshops of Emperors Akbar and Jahangir.
