The correct answer is

Jahangir

Mughal painting reached its peak under Jahangir (1605–1627), himself a connoisseur of art. His atelier produced highly refined naturalistic portraits and detailed studies of birds, animals and plants by masters such as Ustad Mansur, Abul Hasan and Bishandas, marking the golden age of the school.

Akbar established and expanded the atelier, but the artistic refinement and naturalism characteristic of the school's flowering belong to Jahangir's reign.
