This painting shows a fort in flames, with Mughal forces in the foreground. The scene is from a book about the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar. It was made by artists working for Akbar, which is interesting because it shows how art was used to record history back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the work of artist Khiman Sangtarash.
