About Yashoda Krishna Dutch Bengal School Art Vintage Indian Painting
Around the turn of the 19th century, Indian artists – mainly in Kolkata and trained in the western style by western painters – started to depict traditional Indian mythological stories in western oil on canvas medium. They were inspired by the style & subjects of traditional miniature paintings but created larger works made possible by the use of canvases . This movement happened primarily in Kolkata (Bengal) as this was the seat of power in India and therefore where money and intellectuals were concentrated. These works, which were typical in their representation – clearly inspired by Indian miniatures & Kalighat styles of painting – became known as Early Bengal paintings or Dutch Bengal Paintings.
