Description: Berlin: Jörg Lehmann Verlag, 2015. 29cm., pbk., 116pp. illus. English text. Summary: The 16th and 17th centuries were periods of early globalisation. European tradesmen and envoys established commercial relations with the Mughal and the Safavid rulers. Simultaneously the Jesuits came to India and brought Christian paintings with them to support their missionary efforts. These paintings were copied and adapted at the instance of the Mughal rulers. The catalogue evinces how Christian themes got incorporated into Indian and Persian painting and how Christian pictures were used by the Mughal nobility for their own imperial representation.
