Susan Stronge's "The Great Mughals" is a captivating exploration of the magnificent wonders that have endured from one of the world's most elegant and refined courts. This truly represents the art of a golden age. William Dalrymple's "The Great Mughals" presents, for the first time, the opulent and internationalist culture of Mughal Hindustan during the reign of its greatest emperors: Akbar (r. 1556-1605), Jahangir (r. 1605-1627), and Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658). It offers a compelling new narrative to describe the origins of Mughal art, revealing how a significant Iranian influence permeated the sophisticated craft traditions of the Indian subcontinent to create a distinctively Mughal court. The book includes a range of contemporary portraits, jewelled gold vessels, and carpets, among other objects. In chapters that capture the unique dynamics of each reign, essays with historical sweep are combined with texts focused on important objects to tell unexpected stories about a dynasty perhaps best known for commissioning the Taj Mahal.
