Perhaps the two most recognisable motifs of
the Mughal style are the poppy and the cypress. They were said to remind the
first Mughal emperor Babur of his beautiful garden in Fergana where he was born
and longed to return to.
Mughal botanical art flourished under the reign of Babur's great-grandson the Emperor Jehangir. With his court painter Mansur, Jehangir documented scientifically accurate depictions of the flora and fauna of his gardens. Over the years and in the courts of various emperors, the poppy got more and more stylized and is as we see it today. It remains the enduring symbol of the artistic mastery of miniature painting in Mughal India and has been interpreted through textiles, inlay, wood carving, and metalwork through the centuries.
