Reading passage


Under the great Moghul emperors, artists emerged from their previous anonymity. They were allowed, for the first time, to sign their work, and even encouraged to include self-portraits in their paintings. And the artists‟ skills did not go unrewarded : one emperor even presented a favourite painter with an
elephant, the ultimate status symbol of the age. Yet little is known about the artists‟ lives. The more successful may have enjoyed an economic status similar to lower-level nobles. However, their simple dress in the self-portraits suggests that the rewards for many painters did not always match their unquestionable talent.
