Item description from seller

Nathdwara, located in the Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, is home to shrinathji, a fifteenth-century manifestation of the child God Krishna holding up Mount govardhan.

At one time there were hundreds of artists in the service of shrinathji. This catalogue explores Anil relia’s comprehensive collection of Nathdwara paintings and sketches, celebrating the wide-ranging talents of various artists. The painters are creators of icons and storytellers of Krishna exploits. Krishna lives in their everyday lives permeating their thoughts and guiding their brushes.

The paintings that document festivals adhere to a traditional hieratic style, but the artist displays a Freer hand in telling the exploits of Krishna. A prominent artist showcased in this collection is ghasiram hardev Sharma, a master draughtsman with a penchant for naturalism. He influenced a whole generation of twentieth-century artists and is still held in high esteem. …
