Delhi: Red Fort to Raisina traces the journey of Shahjahan's new capital of the Mughal Empire, Shahjahanabad to New Delhi the new capital of British-ruled India.
Made in 1846, the five meter long painting commonly known as 'The Delhi Panorama' by the famous topographical artist Mazhar Ali Khan is the finest artistic rendering of Shahjahanabad ever made.
Defining a distinct style of painting produced in India during the British period and influenced by European artistic norms, this catalogue of Company Paintings in the TAPI (Textiles & Art of the People of India) Collection is a unique illustration of the social milieu prevailing in India in the nineteenth century.
