Jatayu - Raja Ravi Varma Painting

This is a framed reproduction of "Jatayu Vadha" (The Slaying of Jatayu), a dramatic and poignant oil painting by the celebrated Indian artist Raja Ravi Varma (1848–1906).

Raja Ravi Varma was known for pioneering a unique fusion of European academic art techniques with traditional Indian subjects and iconography. The painting uses dramatic lighting (chiaroscuro), realistic figure modeling, and vibrant, rich colors to bring this mythological tragedy to life, making the distant epic feel immediate and emotional.
