<P> Jahangir had an artistic inclination and during his reign Mughal painting developed further . Brushwork became finer and the colors lighter . Jahangir was also deeply influenced by European painting . During his reign he came into direct contact with the English Crown and was sent gifts of oil paintings , which included portraits of the King and Queen . He encouraged his royal atelier to take up the single point perspective favoured by European artists , unlike the flattened multi-layered style used in traditional miniatures . He particularly encouraged paintings depicting events of his own life , individual portraits , and studies of birds , flowers and animals . The Jahangirnama , written during his lifetime , which is an autobiographical account of Jahangir 's reign , has several paintings , including some unusual subjects such as the union of a saint with a tigress , and fights between spiders . </P>
