The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulence

The Burlington Magazine reviews the Foundation-supported exhibition at the V&A, The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulance. A once-in-a-lifetime event, this exhibition spans the century of the greatest grandeur enjoyed by the Mughal Empire, from 1560 to 1660. One of the largest centralised states in Early Modern history, it encompassed most of subcontinental India, far outstripping in size and resources both the contemporary Islamic empires of the Safavids and Ottomans, and in global terms it was rivalled only by Ming China.
