Overview for Raja Ravi Varma: The Most Celebrated Painter of India (1848-1906)

The subjects for which Ravi Varma is best known - Hindu Gods and Goddesses and scenes from the Puranas - were natural themes for a profoundly religious man who was also a master of portraiture. In a radical break with India tradition, Ravi Varma used human models to give shape to his vision of the Gods. And by portraying deities such as Krishna, Lakshmi and Saraswati as sublimely beautiful human beings, he made the Gods seem divine yet approachable. So popular were these paintings that, ever since, Hindus have visualized their Gods very much the way Ravi Varma depicted them. The Hindus of India will ever cherish the memory of Ravi Varma for this reason.
