Born in Kilimanoor (Travancore), Raja Ravi Varma was an Indian painter and the first artist to successfully combine Indian subjects and forms of iconography with western influences/techniques. His themes revolved around the great Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana while taking inspiration from Puranas (ancient mythological stories).
He was accredited as being the one to first introduce Indian art to a global platform. Admired for his impeccable technique and simplicity, his artwork has influenced Indian literature, films and textiles and even the famous ‘Amar Chitra Kala’, India’s largest selling comic book series. He remains relevant for his charming portrayal of South Indian women and was recognised by Viceroy Lord Curzon who honoured him with the Kaisar-i-Hind Gold Medal for his service in the furtherance of public interest.
