ABOUT TANJORE PAINTINGS

Tanjore paintings are classical South Indian painting styles, that originated from Tanjore in Tamil Nadu back in the 17th century. These paintings are characterized by their rich and vivid colors, simple iconic composition, glittering gold foils overlaid on delicate but extensive gesso work, and inlay of glass beads and pieces or very rarely precious and semi-precious gems. They essentially symbolize ancient themes of traditional gods and goddesses

DESCRIPTION

This Tanjore painting features Lord Murugan, the revered deity of courage and wisdom, standing in all his splendor. The artwork is adorned with rich gold foil detailing, highlighting the intricacies of the deity’s ornaments and the elaborate arch that frames him. The deep red background complements the gold, adding a regal aura to the composition. Encased in a traditional wooden frame, this painting is a perfect addition to living rooms, prayer rooms, or offices. It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also brings a sense of protection, valor, and spiritual strength.
