Indian Hand Painted Framed Silk Painting Early 17th Century Mughal Dynasty

Depicting the love story between Empress Nur Jahan, the most powerful woman in 17th Century India and her husband, Mughal Emperor Jahangir. She was named Mihr un-Nisa at birth and was later named Nur Jahan (light of the world) by her husband. Empress Nur Jahan ascended from the emperor's harem to great heights as an astute politician and the favorite wife of Jahangir, ruling the vast Mughal empire as a co-sovereign. The Mughals ruled much of the Indian subcontinent for more than 300 years after they came to power early in the 16th century, and were one of India's biggest and most powerful dynasties. Many of its emperors and royal women, including Empress Nur Jahan, were patrons of art, music and architecture - they built grand cities and majestic forts, mosques and tombs.
