This painter worked in a Mughal workshop where artists turned India’s epic stories into delicate Persian-style paintings. Look at how he painted Ghatotkacha chasing a king through a moonlit forest—every leaf and demon feels alive, even though the scene lasts just one page. His brush danced between India’s wild myths and Iran’s polished miniatures, which is why his Razm-nama pages still surprise you in person.
