Indo-Persian art

Indo-Persian art refers to the artistic traditions that emerged from the cultural exchange between India and Persia (modern-day Iran), particularly during the Mughal Empire from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This art form blends Persian aesthetic elements, such as intricate patterns and calligraphy, with Indian themes and techniques. Notable in architecture, painting, and textiles, Indo-Persian art is characterized by its vibrant colors, detailed ornamentation, and harmonious fusion of diverse influences. It reflects the rich history of trade, conquest, and diplomacy between the two regions, showcasing a unique cultural synthesis that has left a lasting legacy.
