Contents Introduction: Painting, patronage, and propaganda in Mughal India / Marcus Fraser -- Rustam: images of a Persian epic hero / Mohsen Ashtiany -- Joseph, Moses, and Elijah: prophets in Mughal painting / Catherine Glynn -- Christ and his life as literary and visual references to Akbar and Jahangir / Pedro Moura Carvalho -- The Mughals of India: a history in paintings / Sonya Rhie Quintanilla with Marcus Fraser -- From the inside out: spaces of pleasure and authority / Ruby Lal -- Catalogue of Mughal and Deccan paintings from the Catherine Glynn Benkaim and Ralph Benkaim Collection.
Summary "This volume proudly introduces the Benkaim Collection, along with the other recent acquisitions of paintings from Mughal India made since the museum published Linda Leach's Indian Miniature Paintings and Drawings in 1986. Updates and new discussions of select works that came into the collection prior to that time are included, when relevant. Whether a new acquisition or a long-standing part of the holdings, every painting reproduced in this book belongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art."--Page 10.
