Sahibdin
Sahibdin(fl. 17th century) was an Indianminiaturepainter of theMewarschool ofRajasthanpainting. He was one of the dominant painters of the era, and one of the few whose name is still known today (another being the painterManohar Das). Sahibdin was aMuslim,but that kept neither hisHindupatrons from employing him, nor him from composing Hindu-themed works of great value. Sahibdin's paintings deftly combine elements of the "popularMughal"style then in vogue across northern India with the traditionalRajput style.[1]
Among his surviving works are a series of musically themed "Ragamala"from 1628; a series on the scriptural textBhagavata Puranafrom 1648; and illustrations to theYuddha Kanda,the sixth book of theRamayana,from 1652.[2]His style can be seen to continue the figure style of theGujaratiera, while also incorporating new elements, like mountainous terrains, from Mughal art.[3]
