Farrukh Beg

Farrukh Beg

▪ Mughal painter
flourished 17th century, India

      outstanding Mughal painter, praised by the Indian Mughal emperor Jahāngīr as “unrivaled in the age.”

      A Kalmyk of Central Asia, Farrukh Beg first worked at Kabul (now in Afghanistan) under Mirzā Ḥakīm, the half brother of the Mughal emperor Akbar. After Ḥakīm died, Farrukh Beg joined Akbar's service (1585) in India. His earliest paintings are strongly Persian in character, and he continued to be a conservative painter, not modifying his style to any considerable extent in the new environment. Several features of his later paintings—the large plants, colour scheme, and treatment of drapery—have suggested that he might have spent some years in the Deccan.
