Maharashtrian Woman (1893) : Raja Ravi Varma was amused by variety of culture, lifestyle & wardrobe of the women from various regions of India. This diversity of India was itself a power, he believed. He has painted many portraits of his models beautifully from maharashtra, karnataka, kerala, tamilnadu and many more indian parts with minute details including costumes and ornaments. *Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906) is thought-about among the best painters within the history of Indian art for variety of aesthetic and broader social reasons.�His artworks are�said to be among the most effective samples of the fusion of European techniques with a strictly Indian sensibility.�His depictions of Hindu deities and episodes from the epics and Puranas have received profound acceptance from the general public and usually are used as objects of worship across India. Ravi Varma*s style of painting played a foundational role in defining Indian imagery and left behind a brilliant legacy of academic realism.
