Explanation

Mughal painting achieved its golden age and fullest development during Jahangir's reign (1605-1627). Jahangir was a great patron of arts who maintained a large atelier with painters like Mansur, Bishandas, and Abu'l Hasan. The period saw remarkable developments in portraiture, naturalistic representation of flora and fauna, and the fusion of Persian and Indian styles. While Akbar established the atelier, Jahangir's reign marked its peak.
