Your art history post for today: by By Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), Music Hath Charms, 1900, Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation. I believe it is oil on canvas. #IndiaArt #indianart #artofindia
From the Foundation: “Raja Ravi Varma depicted many women playing musical instruments; this is a theme that was created several times over as the artist was very familiar with women who were trained classically as musicians.
He painted several 'Nair' women playing instruments, and also singers and classical musicians who were similarly trained in these art forms. The theme of women playing a musical instrument was one perennial to the culture that Ravi Varma grew up in. Hence this theme recurred in several of the artist's finest works.
This painting has been titled 'Music Hath Charms' (written on reverse) and the size of the work clearly indicates that this was made by the hand of the artist as an exemplar for production of an oleograph/lithographic print.”

Indian artist, Adoration of the Christ Child, from the Muraqqa of Nana Phadnis, Mughal India, ca. 1620–1630, collection of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. #arthistory #nativity #christmas #painting #indianart #artofindia
From Victoria Emily Jones, Christianity Today Magazine, December 18, 2023: “This painting is from the era of Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605–1627) of the Mughal dynasty, a Muslim Persianate dynasty of Turco-Mongol origin that ruled much of the Indian subcontinent from the 16th to 18th centuries. Like his father, Akbar, Jahangir was interested in Christian art and dialogue. He invited Jesuits into his court and instructed his artists to paint Christian themes after the European prints the Jesuits shared. This one is adapted from a Flemish engraving by Aegidius Sadeler II.“

By filmmaker/sculptor Rajiv Anchal (born 1956), this huge concrete sculpture rests on top of the 1,000-foot Jatayupara towers, Jatayu Earth Centre, Chadayamangalam, Kerala, India. #sculpture #asianart #artofindia #indianartist
“Jatayu Earth's Centre or Jatayu Rock is a nature park situated 1200 ft above sea level. This attraction was opened to the public on August 17, 2018, and ever since, this has been a great tourist attraction. In fact, the attraction is one of the most visited ones in the state of Kerala. The main attraction of the park is the rock sculpture of Jatayu which is also the world’s largest bird sculpture.
This rock sculpture was sculpted by artist Rajiv Anchal. The bird measures a total of 200 ft in length, 150 ft in width, 70 ft in height and is spread across a total of 15,000 sq ft of floor area. To put it simply, Jatayu sculpture is massive.
As per its creator Rajiv Anchal, Jatayu Rock is a representation of Jatayu–the legend, and symbolises the protection of a woman’s honour and safety…
In case you are wondering, it is not just the rock sculpture that people come here to see. Inside the sculpture is a museum and a 6D theatre!
There’s a reason why we call this place a full-fledged travel destination. Other than the fantastic views, visitors can experience a lot of adventure activities. And wait, there’s more! You can also go camping and trekking here.” — Precious Rongmei, Times of India, Oct 8, 2022.
