Tanjore paintings
Tanjore Paintings, are a style of art that flourished with the patronage of the Maratha Kings in the 18th century in Southern India. These paintings are in the gilded and gemset technique with rich relief work.Available in Balaji, Lakshmi,Ganesh and Krishna
The process of making Tanjore paintings require dedication and skill from the artist. Each work of art is done stage by stage using semi-precious stones to decorate and takes days to complete. These paintings are done on wooden board on which layering of clay provides a three dimensional embossed effect.
The paintings depict scenes from the ancient scriptures of Hindu religion and are unique and rich in harmony of colors, designs, and traditional techniques blended with meticulous attention to details. The composition is characteristically static and consists generally of one main figure, the diety, centrally placed. The diety is formally housed within an enclosure of a palace or temple pavilion.
