Indian Artists - Raja Ravi Varma

This post marks the beginning of a series which I intend to continue, focusing on the various artists from India. And the first artist I am focusing on is Raja Ravi Varma.


Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), is known for potraying scenes from the Indian mythology, such as the Ramayana amd the Mahabharata. His work is a mix of traditional indian art mixed with that of European style. He also won a prize at the Vienna Art exhibition in 1873. His work has also been noted for its sentimentality.
