EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing piece of art from 19th century India. The painting, titled "Ravana" originates from the vibrant city of Calcutta and belongs to the renowned Kalighat style. Created using black ink, color and silver paint, as well as graphite underdrawing on paper, this masterpiece measures 45.1 x 27.7 cm (17 3/4 x 10 7/8 in. ). The image depicts Ravana, a prominent character from Hindu mythology known for his ten heads and immense power. The artist skillfully captures Ravana's fierce expression and intricate details that adorn his multiple faces. Each brushstroke beautifully brings out the complexity of this mythical figure. The Kalighat painting style emerged in the late 18th century near Kolkata's famous Kali Temple, hence its name. These paintings were initially created as souvenirs for pilgrims visiting the temple but soon gained recognition for their unique blend of traditional Indian aesthetics with contemporary themes. This particular artwork exemplifies the mastery of Kalighat artists who seamlessly combined elements like bold lines, vivid colors, and delicate shading techniques to create visually striking compositions. As we admire this stunning print today, it serves not only as a testament to India's rich artistic heritage but also offers us a glimpse into the cultural narratives that have shaped its history.
