The foundation of Mughal painting was laid by Humayun during the years of his exile in Persia and Afghanistan. He met two distinguished pupils Khwaja Abdus Samad and Mir Sayyid. In 1555, he regained his throne only for seven months. It was from these artists that Humayun and his son Akbar took lessons in drawing. An advanced atelier was set up in the palace.
