Abstract
The art of miniature painting flourished from the 13th to the 16th Century in the
Middle East, currently known as Iran. By the 15th century, Persian style had
progressed, exemplified by firm lines, strong colours, and a lot of detail.
Behzad was the greatest advocate of this era. He brought about amalgamation
in Persian painting. Balance was an important principle in Persian art. It was
richly detailed with mythological and religious themes. The techniques are
broadly analogous to the Western and Byzantine. Persian miniatures were also
inspired by Chinese art. Mughal miniature was contemporary to the Persian
civilization from which they had been instigated to learn art. The initiative step
was taken at the time of Humayun’s service when two artists from Persia, Mir
Sayyad Ali and Khawaja Abdus Samad joined him.
