Tanjore Paintings |
|
| Tanjore painting
is an important form of classical South Indian painting native to the
town of Thanjavur (anglicized as Tanjore) in Tamil Nadu where it is
also called [Thanjavur Oviyam]. Tanjore Paintings are known for their
surface richness, vivid colours and compact composition. Essentially
serving as devotional icons, the themes of most of these paintings are
Hindu gods and goddesses, and saints as well. Episodes from Hindu
tradition are drawn upon as elaboration to the main figure / figures
placed in the central section of the picture. Tanjore paintings are in
fact panel paintings (done on solid wood planks ) and hence were also
referred to as 'palagai padam'( palagai - wooden plank ; padam-
picture) in local parlance. |
