Note: A miniature painting is an intricate form of illustration,
executed meticulously with delicate brushwork. This exquisite
form of art was used in early times to document historical
accounts, literary works of poetry and prose, biography and
important texts. Though the history of miniature painting can be
traced to the sixth century AD, this form of art flourished in the
court of the Moghuls and then spread to other kingdoms of north
India creating the Rajput, Pahadi, Punjab, Jaipur, Kota, Boondi,
Kangra, Alwar, Malwa, Bikaner and many other schools, each
with its own distinct style of miniature paintings.
The artists painted on a variety of materials like paper,
ivory-panels, wooden tablets, leather, marble, cloth and walls
and used colours derived from minerals, vegetables, precious
stones, indigo, conch shells, pure gold and silver. The brushes
were made from very fine hair, mostly squirrel hair.
Even today masters of miniature painting follow the same
methods and use the same natural colours to create their
masterpieces. They frequently use paper from old manuscripts
and books for their paintings.
