Evolution of Mughal school of painting under Akbar

Evolution of Mughal school of painting under Akbar:

Drawing the likeness of anything is called tasvir.

His majesty, from his earliest youth, has shown a great predilection for this art, and gives it every encouragement, as he looks upon it as a means, both of study and amusement.

Hence, the art flourishes and has obtained great reputation. The works of all painters are weekly laid before by the daroghas and the clerks; he then confers rewards according to the excellence of workmanship or increases the monthly salaries.

Much progress was made in the commodities required for painters, and the correct prices of such articles were carefully ascertained.

Most excellent painters are now to be found, and masterpieces, worthy of a Bihzad, may be placed at the side of the wonderful works of the European painters who have attained worldwide fame.
