Description

What is a Tanjore Painting?

The canvas is made of a layer of cloth stretched over a wooden plank. Layers of paste made from glue and limestone are molded and applied so as to create a three-dimensional effect. Trimmed with foil made of pure gold and embellished with stones or cut stones of various colours, the Tanjore paintings are true treasures!

History of Tanjore Painting

Tracing its roots to the historical golden era of the early 18th century, Tanjore artwork is one of the many indigenous art forms for which India is noted. Originating in Tanjore about 300 kms from Chennai( Madras), which was the then capital of the Gupta empire, this form of art developed at the height of cultural evolvement achieved during that period.An extraordinary visual amalgamation of both art and craft,

Tanjore paintings mainly consist of themes on Hindu gods and goddesses. The characteristics of the Tanjore paintings are its brilliant colour schemes, decorative Jewellery with stones and cut glasses and its larger-than-life figures. The themes are mostly mythological, with figures of Lord Krishna and Lord Ganesha in various poses and depicting various stages of Lord Krishnas life being the most favorite.

Today people are experimenting with birds, animals, building structures and other subjects.

What sets them apart from Indian paintings in general are the embellishments made over the basic drawings with precious and semi-precious stones as well as the relief work which gives them a three dimensional effect. The pictures are of various sizes, ranging from huge works spanning whole walls to small miniatures no longer than 6-inch square.The paintings decorate the puja rooms in residences, arcades in major hotels and lobbies in Corporate Offices. They also make nice gifts for any festive occasion such as Weddings, Housewarming parties, Christmas gifts (especially those which are not of hindu gods such as the paintings of flowers, peacocks ) & other special occasions.
