| Description |
"Game of wolf-running in Tabriz", by Banavari. From "The Book of Akbar". Watercolor and gold on paper, painted about 1595. Part of the exhibit "Art and Stories of Mughal India" at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. The Mughal Empire had been restored under Humayan in 1555. But he died a year later, and his 12-year-old son Akbar ascended to the throne. Bairam Khan, Humayan's great general and the man mostly responsible for the reconquest of India, was regent until 1561. Bairam conquered most of northern India, and Akbar conquered Bengal and most of central India (except for Gondwana) by the time of his death in October 1605. Akbar's reign is considered the start of the golden age of Mughal culture, art, and architecture. Wolf-running was a game played in the Persian court, and was imported by the Mughals to India. By the time this image was painted, the game had died out, and no one really knew how it was played. So the painting is completely spectulative. |
