Raja Ravi Varma Oleographs
Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906) was a renowned Indian painter who is often credited with popularising Indian art through his innovative technique of producing oleographs. Oleographs are a form of printmaking in which images are reproduced using oil-based inks on paper or canvas.
Raja Ravi Varma oleographs are characterised by their exquisite blend of traditional Indian themes and Western artistic techniques. He skill-fully combined the intricate details of Indian mythology, legends, and classical subjects with the precision and realism of European academic art.
The artist’s innovative use of oleographs allowed him to produce multiple copies of his artwork, making it accessible to a wider audience and contributing to the popularisation of Indian art.
These oleographs are a testament to his artistic genius and his role in bridging the gap between traditional Indian art and modern Western techniques. His legacy continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on Indian art and culture.
