 RADHA MADHAV - Ravi Varma Painting
Lord Krishna - the Hindu god is the Supreme Person, the Godhead, the speaker of the Bhagavad-Gita, which is recognized throughout the world as one of mankind's greatest books of wisdom. He is usually depicted as a young cowherd boy playing a flute (such as in the Bhagavata Purana) or a youthful prince giving philosophical direction (as in the Bhagavad Gita). Most commonly within Hinduism, Krishna is worshipped as an avatar of Vishnu, who is considered the Supreme God . Radha is regarded as a primary deity, often worshipped to as an incarnation of Goddess Laxmi. Radha is almost always depicted alongside Krishna and features prominently within the theology of today's Gaudiya Vaishnava religion, which regards Radha as the original Goddess or Shakti. Raja Ravi Varma ( 1848- 1906 ) is a world famous Indian painter who won the Vienna exhibition in 1873. The Painter Prince with Kshatriya blood (Indian Warrior Clan) traditionally achieved territorial conquest through the might of arms – but Ravi Varma, the Painter-Prince’s conquest was of the human heart and aesthetic perception through the might of his brush.He was a modern among traditionalists and a rationalist among moderns. He provided a vital link between the traditional Indian art and the contemporary, between the Thanjavoor School and Western Academic realism. Raja” was a title given to him in recognition of his talent. He was richly educated and, unknown to many, also a poet, painting with words as well as color.
