According to Stokstad and Cothren, "China dominated the international trade in ceramics, but with the rise of the Ming Dynasty." The result of the Chinese trade was sometimes called the "Ming gap," it was an opportunity for artists of Southeast Asia and merchants to merge and influence one another. Like the picture above, this porcelain is painted in "underglaze cobalt blue and further embellished with overglaze enamels" spread throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.

According to Stokstad and Cothren, in the Mughal period, there were two fundamental Islamic structures, the mosque, and the tomb, along with the arch and the dome." Like the picture above, the intricate details and patterns in the dome make them unique and eye-catching. The dome becomes a profound expression in Islamic architecture. To add, paintings were slowly turning into vigorous and naturalistic styles. Stylization paintings were bold and the eye catches the object of the painting quickly, it represents a stylistic pattern. Whereas naturalism takes more time to unfold and figure out what is going on. Although like the word, it is a more natural picture without changing its nature or tradition. These marvelous paintings wouldn't exist without the best painters being scouted for by the emperor.

In the video "Rajput painting in the Mughal Era," it is emphasized how this was a time when the love of a god was expressed through their artwork. The stylization was important for emotional intensity. They did this by using bold expressive colors, usually non-naturalistic, sharp rhythmic lines, and exaggerated distortions on the bodies.

According to the video "Taj Mahal," the Taj Mahal is expressed as a vault and heaven because it is an extreme silhouette that wants to go up into the sky. The water channels in front of it help it give that reflection of tallness. According to Stokstad and Cothren, the fruit trees, and cypresses symbolize life and death. I assume cause one blooms like the beginning of life and the other stands up straight and high towards the sky representing heaven.

The film "The Story of India: Freedom," emphasizes that the Modern Period "is the hallmark of the great civilization, that they have the ability to conserve their own genius but to bring in the discoveries of other civilizations and incorporate them." As I've seen throughout learning different centuries is how ideas were preserved for their own use. From the different painting techniques to Buddhism were all adopted ideas that were developed and changed over time. In the modern period of art, simplified and schematic styles were very popular during this time like the Theorama series above.
