Note
Jahangir was a great patron of the arts, who employed court painters to record current events, and he had no objection to the depiction of human beings, particularly of himself. While Jahangir enjoyed wine, he is known to have prayed regularly. The striking of portrait mohurs, which was later described by the pious as “Bachanalian”, was never repeated by any of the later Mughal emperors. While Jahangir’s son and successor Shah Jahan was a patron of the arts who issued beautiful coins, he did not share his father’s brilliance and flair when it came to their design, and his successor, the devoutly religious Awrangzib, put an end to the liberal artistic practices of his father and grandfather.
