Miniature Paintings are characterized by their adherence to three main visible aspects: small in size, illustrating an event narrated in a popular book, and executed meticulously with delicate brushwork. The history of miniature paintings in India could be traced up to sixth and seventh century AD. This art had evolved over centuries carrying the influences of other cultures and traditions.
The Materials: It was not the time of synthetic dyes or industrially manufactured colours. Thus all the materials these artists used were procured from the surrounding areas only. Colours were made from extracting juices from vegetables. The coloured stones available locally were crushed and pastes were made. The artists who created Indian miniatures used indigenous materials to give their artistic products a unique appearance.
The miniature painters were like other artists functioning during that time. They allowed their feelings and expressions to be revealed on available mediums. They had paper, ivory panels, wooden tablets, leather, marble, cloth and plastered walls to use as canvases. They used minerals, vegetables, precious stones, indigo, and conch shells. Precious materials like pure gold and silver were also used to detail the masterly executed drawings.
Indian miniature artists, supported by Mughal Emperors and Rajaput Kings, had employed multiple perspectives unlike their Persian counterparts in the art of painting. The idea was to convey reality that existed beyond specific vantage point.
The Themes: The subjects they chose to paint and the themes they selected to depict were influenced by the choices of their mentors. Various themes these artists depicted in miniature paintings were rich in cultural aspect. They tended to be deep in meaning, too. Among the popular themes, there were depiction of incidents from scriptures like Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagvata Purana. These are the sacred books of Hindu religion. The Muslim Emperors also respected these scriptures equally. The miniature painters also illustrated various scenes from other popular books like Rasikpriya and Rasamanjiri.
With the spread of Vaishnavism cult of Hindu religion, in early Eighteenth Century, a book named Gita Govinda became famous among the elite class. The poems and stories narrated in this book became popular pictorial themes. Gita Govinda was a popular book in various regions of northIndia, like Rajasthan and Gujarat so the artists exploited the subject in full. During this period the love songs written in it were extensively illustrated in mughal and other styles of paintings prevalent in north and south India. Thus the subjects chosen by these artists were really secular.
