Indian Masters — The Painters Who Defined Modern India
From the late 19th century through Independence and beyond, a generation of Indian painters built one of the most distinctive national traditions in modern art. Raja Ravi Varma combined Western academic technique with Hindu iconography to create images of goddesses and historical scenes that reached every corner of the country through his printing press — images that still shape how Indian mythology is visualised. Amrita Sher-Gil, trained in Paris and drawn back to India by its colour and light, painted peasant women and village life with a gravity and sensory richness that stands alone in 20th-century Indian art.
Rabindranath Tagore, better known as a poet and Nobel laureate, produced a body of visual work — drawings, ink paintings, pastels — of haunting originality that was barely known outside a small circle in his lifetime. Jamini Roy drew on the Kalighat pat tradition of Bengal to create a modernist vocabulary that was simultaneously avant-garde and rooted in Indian craft. These painters, working across different styles and ideological commitments, established what it meant to be an Indian painter in the modern world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the most famous Indian painters?
Among historical Indian masters, Raja Ravi Varma, Amrita Sher-Gil, Rabindranath Tagore, Jamini Roy, and Nandalal Bose are considered the most significant. Each defined a distinct approach to Indian modernism — Varma through academic naturalism merged with Hindu mythology, Sher-Gil through a French-trained gaze directed at India, Tagore through lyrical abstraction, and Roy through folk-derived modernism.
Where can I buy Raja Ravi Varma prints in India?
Mojud offers Raja Ravi Varma prints made to order on matte fine-art paper or canvas, with free shipping across India. The collection includes his famous mythological subjects — Shakuntala, Lakshmi, Galaxy of Musicians — as well as his portraits and Kerala genre scenes.
What makes Amrita Sher-Gil's paintings distinctive?
Amrita Sher-Gil trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, winning recognition as a European painter, then returned to India to paint the people and landscapes she had grown up with. Her work fuses the earthy palette and psychological weight of Gauguin with a deeply Indian subject matter. Her figures — peasant women, village girls, bathers — are painted with a gravity and physical solidity rare in Indian art of her era.
Are Indian Masters prints good for home decor?
Yes — Ravi Varma's mythological paintings in particular are popular for home decoration, especially in living rooms. Amrita Sher-Gil's quieter canvases work well in bedrooms and studies. Jamini Roy's bold-outlined folk figures suit contemporary and eclectic interiors. All are available at Mojud in sizes suited to Indian home dimensions.
