The Islamic Empire had ruled almost the Entire Old World including part of Europe and Iberian Peninsula for hundreds of years. These popular arts were oppressed till the 11th century when the Empire had weakened and the conquered nations started to have some self – rule and Autonomy. At that time the painting arts reappeared in Persia, India, China, and Mongolia. During Mongol’s Conquest of whole Asia and part of Europe; and after they adopted Islam as religion, all these arts arose again and we have seen many examples of these beautiful mixture of different cultures in One painting. Persians, Indians, and Mongols adopted the Miniature paintings in books. This painting is a hand-painted illumination on a handwritten leaf of History manuscript in Urdu language. The miniature painting looks100 years old. The paper is very delicate and fragile. You get exactly what you see in the picture.
