    In 1636, #ShahJahan invaded Deccan & forced upon the Sultan the 'Deed of Submission' which included an increase in Tribute & replacement of #Shia with #Suni #Religion.
    This led the local #Artists to incorporate #Mughal styles in their #Paintings as seen in this case.

  11. When the Europeans arrived in #India beginning 16th century, the Indian #Artists were quite fascinated by them, the language, culture, clothing etc.

    They too became a 'subject' of #Art or #IndianMiniaturePainting like this 'Dutch Couple' where the artist has added the 'bindi' on the woman's forehead to cater to his client's need, perhaps the couple wanted it this way.
