Basawan was court painter of which school ?

  • A.Pahari
  • B.Rajasthani
  • C.Mughal
  • D.Pal

Answer: C

Basawan was a court painter of the Mughal school. He worked under Akbar in the 16th century and is noted for painting that combines Persian forms with European style modelling and for his compositions in manuscripts such as the Hamzanama and the Akbarnama.

The Pahari and Rajasthani schools were regional schools of hill and Rajput courts, and the Pala school is the much earlier eastern Indian tradition of palm leaf and manuscript painting from the 8th to 12th centuries. None of them was Basawan's court school.
