 |
|
|
 |
| |
In 1958, Dr Wakankar discovered an archaeological marvel. The oldest Indian cave paintings at Bhimbetka caves in Madhya Pradesh. These primitive drawings tell a story of an eon some 20,000 years ago. When men and women were still discovering themselves and the world around them. This was a period of minimal communication, if any at all. There are no oral or written records that tell the tale of our pre-historic ancestors. All we have are their cave paintings. |

Thanjavur or modern Tanjore is famous for a special style of decorating the paintings, which are done both on glass and board. In both types, the figures and the background are richly embellished with gold leaf and gems as ornaments. The relief work on board is achieved by applying gesso, a mixture of gypsum or Plaster of Paris and glue. 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 in various poses and depicting various stages of his life being the most favourite. |
