1848-1906, Indian painter. He was the most important and one of the earliest Indian artists of the 19th century to work in oil paints. The subjects of his paintings were often mythological, but they were produced in a European historicist style. He absorbed the influence of such French 19th-century academic painters as William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Boulanger and of Indian contemporary popular theatre, specializing in the type of mythological paintings that found favour with Indian rajas and British administrators. His successful exploitation (from 1894) of the lithographic reproduction of his paintings ensured, for the first time in India, that the work of an individual artist could reach a mass market.  Related Paintings of Raja Ravi Varma :. | Rajaputra soldier | Sri Krishna as Envoy | Harischandra in Distress, having lost his kingdom and all the wealth parting with his only son in an auction | The Maharashtrian Lady | The suckling child |
