Unit – II (B) Deccan School of Miniature Painting / Introduction & Origin and Development
 
Origin and Development of the Deccan School of Miniature Painting
 
Origin and Development
 
The Deccan (Deccani) School of Miniature Painting had its beginning in 1560 A.D. When Mughal School had its existence, the Deccani School was already in existence. When the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb threw out Mughal artists from Mughal Empire, several artists migrated to Deccan and sought patronage there. The Mughal influence entered Deccan (16th and 17th centuries) were Ahmednagar, Bijapur and Golconda. In the Mughal style started developing in Deccan, but later in the 17th and 18th centuries, Mughal influence on Deccani paintings increased a lot.
 
So, the Deccani paintings developed and flourished in Ahmednagar, Bijapur and Golconda and also in other centers of Deccan like Hyderabad and Tanjore. A surprising large portion of the surviving masterpieces of Indian Painting was produced for the mysterious Sultans who ruled the Deccan.
 
With dramatic intensity typical of the Deccan, the artist has recorded the vigorous poses and forward thrust of a moving crowd. Sometimes the Mughal artist for all his familiarity with Western Painting represented a group of people and wars of densely packed bodies. Although little is known about the history or civilization of Deccan, it has now become clear that at least the kingdoms-Ahmednagar, Bijapur and Golconda produced paintings of astonishing quality. By the mid 17th century, Deccani painting particularly at Golconda was rising to dazzling new heights.
 
So the origin and development of Deccani School of art has left a special landmark in the history of art.
 
Phases of Deccan Art
 
Early phases evolved at the Adil Shahi court of Bijapur, where several lrani, Persian and Turkish painters, calligraphers, scholars came to Bijapur. Skilled in Islamic Art style these artists rendered paintings on pure Islamic themes and in a pure Islamic idiom.
 
The second phase started when the later generations of Muslim rulers of Deccan states, Bijapur, Golkonda, Ahmednagar and Hyderabad had their roots on Indian soil. They were inclined to Indian Mysticism. Besides, the artists they had were mostly local or local descendants of earlier immigrants who came from Iran, Persia and Turkey.
 
The third phase initiated in the 18th century at Hyderabad when another form of Deccan art came into existence. It blended with the romantic passion of the former Golconda School as well as the stylistic elements and the refinement of the Mughal art.
