But the seeds of what came to be known as Mughal painting had been sown following Jahangir’s grandfather Humayun’s recapture of Delhi in 1556. A number of Iranian painters accompanied Humayun to Delhi, one of them was appointed teacher to his son Akbar. Akbar thus developed his deep interest in painting since boyhood, and he subsequently made a great contribution to the rigorous revival of painting.
