Raja Ravi Varma
Raja Ravi Varma:
"It is rare to come across in these days, men like him, artists like him, lovers of India like him." - (Dr. Abanindranath Tagore, connoisseur of Indian art)
Another well said verse by a fan:
"An artist who is credited with bringing about a momentous turn in the art of India, Raja RaviVarma influenced future generations of artists from different streams. He was the first artist to cast the Indian Gods and mythological characters in natural earthy surroundings using a European realism; a depiction adopted not only by the Indian “calendar-art”- spawning ubiquitous images of Gods and Goddesses, but also by literature and later by the Indian film industry- affecting their dress and form even today. His dazzling oil paintings of India’s ancient glory delighted turn-of-the-century India and his mass reproductions reached out to the Indian populace in an unprecedented scale. "
