Color use in Mughal painting

From your colleague Kathleen Steiger, an excellent short video on the color within Mughal paintings, from the Getty Museum:

Exploring Color in Mughal Paintings

“Court painters from the Mughal empire in India created detailed portraits of some of the most powerful and wealthy figures of the 17th century. These paintings traveled to Europe through trade, where their fine lines and majestic subjects inspired artists like Rembrandt. Learn how the Mughal painters employed a variety of natural pigments in their brilliantly colored images of emperors and elites.

This video accompanies the exhibition “Rembrandt and the Inspiration of India” (March 13, 2018 – June 24, 2018) at the Getty Museum.”
