The painting during the period of which of the following is known for the love of nature ?

  • A.Akbar
  • B.Shah Jahan
  • C.Dara Shikoh
  • D.Jahangir

Answer: D

Painting known for its love of nature flourished under Jahangir.

Jahangir (1605-1627) was a keen naturalist, and his court artists produced remarkably accurate studies of birds, animals and flowers. Ustad Mansur, whom he titled Nadir-ul-Asr, painted the zebra, the turkey cock and Himalayan flowers, and Abul Hasan was another master of the period. Mughal painting reached its peak of naturalism under him.

Akbar's studios concentrated on illustrated manuscripts and court histories, Shah Jahan's period on formal portraits and splendour, and Dara Shikoh was a prince and patron, not the ruler of a painting period.
