The Soul of Tanjore Craftsmanship

Experience the unparalleled richness of Tanjore painting, an ancient South Indian art form renowned for its exquisite ornamentation and spiritual depth. Each stroke is meticulously rendered by master artisans, employing traditional techniques passed down through generations.

The deep, resonant blue background provides a dramatic contrast to the figures, making their presence even more commanding. The delicate application of gold work catches the light, imbuing the scene with an ethereal radiance. Encased within a finely crafted, deep mahogany wooden frame with ornate antique gold detailing, its dimensions of 12.25 inches in height by 10.35 inches in width, with a subtle depth of 0.65 inches, ensure it becomes a captivating focal point in any setting.

Echoes of Devotion and Legend

This artwork draws its inspiration from the devotional poetry and mythology surrounding Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha. Their story represents the soul's yearning for the divine, a theme that has resonated through centuries of Indian spirituality and art. The Tanjore tradition itself has roots in the Chola Empire, flourishing under the patronage of kings and temples, cementing its status as a sacred art form intended to inspire spiritual contemplation.

Sanctuary of Serenity

Imagine this radiant artwork gracing your prayer room, a constant reminder of divine love and devotion. It is equally suited to enrich your living area or study, infusing the space with a sense of peace and timeless beauty.

Enduring Brilliance, Timeless Care

To preserve the vibrant allure of this exquisite piece, simply dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid any abrasive cleaners or direct exposure to harsh sunlight, which can diminish the brilliance of the gold leaf and the richness of the traditional colors. With this simple care, you ensure that this testament to artisanal skill and divine narrative will continue to inspire for generations to come.

Gilded Elegance: Unraveling the Artistry of Tanjore Paintings

Tanjore painting is a traditional form of art in the South Indian style and was started by the inhabitants of a small town known as Thanjavur of Tamil Nadu. This gives it another name called “Thanjavur painting”. This painting draws its figures, designs, and inspiration from the time when Vedic culture was prevalent in India. Certain remarkable features of a Tanjore painting distinguish it from other paintings. Some of these are pure gold or gold foil coating on gesso work, the use of rich and vivid colors, and the inlay of cut-glass or semi-precious and precious stones. The subjects of most of the Tanjore paintings are Hindu Gods, Goddesses, and saints. The main devotional figure is portrayed in the central portion of the painting and is usually surrounded by various secondary figures.

The process of making a Tanjore painting

The classic Tanjore paintings are done on wooden planks and hence are also referred to as Palagai Padam in South India (Palagai = Wooden plank, Padam = Picture). Creating a masterpiece is never an easy task but the skilled artists of Thanjavur have been following the tradition of making timeless Tanjore paintings for decades.

The making process begins with preparing the wooden board or canvas. The size of the board depends upon the choice of the patron. The next step is to paste cardboard over the wooden board and then a cotton fabric is stretched and pasted upon it using Arabic gum.

Now that the cloth is attached to the wooden panel, a rough sketch of the motifs and figure is drawn onto the fabric. After this, a paste of chalk powder and water-soluble adhesive is evenly applied over the base and smoothed.

Thereafter, the outlines which were made or traced using a stencil are now ready to be beautified and decked with various add-ons. The usual materials for decoration are cut-glass, pearls, semi-precious and precious gems, gold leaf, and laces. 22 or 18 Karat Gold leaves and gems of varied hues are especially inlaid in areas like pillars, arches, walls, thrones, and dresses. In the final step, the rest of the painting is filled with rich and striking colors such as shades of red, blue, and green. Formerly, the artists used natural colors like vegetable and mineral dyes instead of chemical paints. The entire painting is then cleaned and refined to give a flawless finished look.

Since the making of a single piece of Tanjore painting requires a complex and elaborate process, the artists usually take at least one or two months to complete it. The use of pure gold foil and gems for beautification is a characteristic of an authentic Tanjore painting. Due to this, Tanjore paintings last for generations without getting tarnished and are much more expensive than general paintings. Though the art form has undergone various changes and technique modifications over the years, it continues to attract the hearts of art lovers.
