Akbar supervising the capture of wild elephants at Malwa in 1564, painting 90…, c. 1602-3
Akbar supervising the capture of wild elephants at Malwa in 1564, painting 90 from an Akbar-nama (Book of Akbar) of Abu?l Fazl (Indian 1551-1602), c. 1602-3; borders added c. 1700s. This painting is from a biography of Akbar made shortly before his death. It depicts a historical event from early in his reign when he encountered a herd of wild elephants and captured many of them for his royal stables. Akbar rides horseback in the upper left, directing his men as two trained elephants give chase in the foreground. The Mughals caught wild elephants by chasing them with tame elephants, then tethering them together and feeding them their favorite food. European prints had made their way into Akbar?s collection, and they provided the visual source for distant cityscapes, rolling hills, and less densely coloured paintings.
