The Brush of Insight
Over the course of the sixteenth and early seventeenth
centuries, Mughal court painters evolved from illustrators of
manuscripts and albums to active mediators of imperial visionary
experience, cultivating their patrons' earthly and spiritual
authority. Featuring over 80 color illustrations, The Brush of
Insight traces this shift, demonstrating how royal artists
created a new visual economy that featured highly naturalistic
royal portraits and depictions of the emperors' dreams. These
images, in turn, shaped the perception of the Mughal emperors'
preeminence in all domains-temporal and spiritual-from the reign of
Akbar to that of his son and successor, Jahangir. In analyzing a
wide range of visual materials including manuscripts, albums, and
coins, art historian Yael Rice documents how manuscript painters
and paintings challenged the status of writing as the primary
medium for the transmission of knowledge and experience. With
compelling material and original arguments, The Brush of
Insight probes how pictures and illustrated books became
central to imperial modes of seeing and being in early modern
Mughal South Asia.
