The Jami Masjid, also known as the Jummah Musjed, is a magnificent mosque located in Delhi. This iconic structure has been captured and depicted by various artists throughout history. In Oriental Scenery's plate XXIII, we get a glimpse of the grandeur of the Jami Masjid in Delhi. The intricate details and architectural brilliance are showcased in this stunning artwork. Moving forward to 1864, an artist skillfully uses pencil, pen, grey ink, watercolor, and touches of white to bring out the beauty of the Jami Masjid. The delicate strokes capture its essence and make it come alive on paper. Traveling across continents to Algiers in 1890, we encounter another masterpiece - the Colonnade of the Mosque of Djamaa-El-Kebir. Although not specifically named as Jami Masjid, this image showcases a similar architectural style that resonates with its Indian counterpart. Taking us back to India in 1857 is William Carpenter's painting depicting a street at the back in Delhi. It offers a glimpse into everyday life surrounding this historical landmark. Edwin Lord Weeks transports us to Mathura with his depiction from the late 19th or early 20th century. A royal elephant stands majestically at the gateway to Jami Masjid – symbolizing power and grandeur associated with this sacred place. As we explore more images from different cities like Agra and Fatehpur Sikri dating back to 1968 during Mughal India rule; it becomes evident that these mosques hold immense significance within Indian history and culture. Not only is Jami Masjid renowned for its architectural splendor but it also holds historical importance as being part of Malwa Sultanate's one-time fortress capital. Delhi's version continues captivating artists even today; their renditions capturing both its timeless allure and cultural significance within Mughal India.
