Babur and Humayun

Here we see the first Mughal emperor, Babur, who reigned from 1526 to 1530, is shown seated on the right with his son and successor, Humayun. Ousted from his brief control of Ferghana, and eastern territory of Iran, Babur swept down on northern India at a time of political weakness there to establish the beginnings of a great empire. Such posthumous family portraits were painted to recall the glory of the first Mughal emperors and to assert a ruler's direct line of succession to the throne from Babur. In this case, the patron of the painting is Babur's great-great-grandson Shahjahan. In the border decoration there attendants bear, respectively, a standard, a sword in a fabric sheath, and a shield, all of which are attributes of royal power. A pair of angels above the emperors' heads provides a divine aura. The painting is from the Shah Jahan Album or the Emperor’s album. Western provenance also describes this as the Kevorkian Album, after an American collector. The album features fifty illustrated and calligraphy folios, forty-one of which are in custody of the Metropolitan Museum, and nine reside in the collection of the Freer Gallery of Art. Unfortunately, the Artist is unknown. Hope to update that bit asap.
