Description

An amazingly beautiful, traditional theme Tanjore painting of Krishna with Rukmini in antique style. Tanjore painting is one of the most beautiful painting styles that originated in Tanjavur, a town in Tamil Nadu, South India. It is quite an old art; dating back to about 16th century AD. That was the time when nobles and elites of Tanjavur favoured and encouraged shastriya (classical) music and dance, Tamil and Telugu literature and art including paintings of deities and other Hindu religious subjects in South Indian temples as well as Hindu scriptures such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranas.

South Indian Tanjore paintings stand out from other painting styles for the liberal use of glittering gold foil and semi precious gems overlaid on vividly coloured images of gods, goddesses and other Hindu celestials. The medium and format of Tanjore painting style lends itself very well to depicting the rich, colourful events in the lives of kings, gods, demons, nymphs etc. in Puranic stories.

This South Indian Tanjore painting of Krishna and Rukmini is one such exquisite Tanjore work. Sri Krishna is seen braiding his wife Rukmini’s hair. The couple is seated on a royal bed flanked by maids attending to them.

This Tanjore painting has many artistic elements to admire. The beautiful golden matrix on the floor, the intricate design of the jewellery set in Krishna and Rukmini’s hair or the bright golden arch on top are all  superb work of art executed by master Tanjore painter. Overall this Tanjore painting is a fine example of exceptional artistic grace and beauty that these paintings can exude.

I purchased a Japanese woodblock print from the excellent selection that Cottage9 has. The print was sent carefully packaged and the service that I received was first rate. They were always attentive to my questions and provided a high level of customer care. I will be returning for future purchases.

Would strongly recommend Cottage9 for art lovers. Kishan Gupta is a thorough professional who took very good care during the entire made-to-order process for a bronze idol. He knows his subject and can be entirely relied upon. Very happy to do more business with him and Cottage 9.

I have a great love of the unique devotional art from India: over many trips there, as well as from purchases from reputable online sites, I now enjoy a small collection of paintings & sculpture in my home. Since I had first seen them, though, lost-wax sculptures of gods & goddesses - with their graceful limbs holding symbolic articles, with a fresh vitality & lovely facial expressions - had particularly captured my heart. For many years I had searched, in India & online, for one image in particular: that of Sri Rama. Even in India this is not easy to find. One day I did an online search, not expecting much result. Yet at a site in India called Cottage9, I saw a beautiful brass lost-wax of Sri Rama with all the elements I wished for: a graceful yet strong demeanor, holding a separate bow in his hand; with a noble & kind expression. Alas, it had already been sold; lost-wax images are by definition one-of-a-kind. When I inquired, I was told that I could commission another murti of Sri Ram; while of course no lost-wax sculpture can be duplicated, I was assured it would be of the same high quality. This was taking a risk; there was no way to know what the finished sculpture would look like. The person with whom I was interacting, Mr. Gupta, sent me an article describing not only each step, with photos, of creating a lost-wax bronze sculpture (Mr. Gupta patiently answered all my questions about materials, concluding that bronze was generally considered the best metal in lost-wax sculpting), yet also describing the prayer and meditation that each artist undertakes before creating an image of the Divine. Mr. Gupta thoroughly answered several other questions; I even sent some photos of the Murtis which would also be on the altar. After these conversations I felt ready to commission the sculpture. Most imprortantly, I felt Mr. Gupta understood how meaningful this was for me, saying that he would personally watch over the production of the murti. All of the arrangements with Cottage9 were clearly explained and smoothly completed. And, while an investment - comparative to other sites at which I have purchased this intricately produced art, I felt the price was quite reasonable. The creation of the sculpture took between 2-3 months; when the murti arrived, it was packed extremely well in a sealed wooden crate; its journey from India to the U.S. was completed without mishap. And the Sri Rama murti was indeed very beautiful & everything I could have hoped for. I would unhesitatingly recommend Cottage9 if one is looking for authentic, beautiful artwork from India.
