Mukund
Mukund is a Mughal Painting artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Mukund painted lively scenes from the emperor Akbar’s court in the late 1500s. His brush brought to life Akbar being weighed on his birthday and Akbar hunting with cheetahs, both from the Akbarnama, a grand history book illustrated for the ruler. He also captured moments like Rai Surjan Hada surrendering to Akbar and Akbar hunting near Delhi. Want to see how the court artist turned words into pictures? Tap “Akbar goes hunting with trained cheetahs” to step inside one of Mukund’s detailed scenes.
