I listened name of Raja Ravi varma but first time I see his painting. From surname looking that he was North Indian, because Varma surname used in North. But he was from Kerla.

He is from Kerala I  am a great fan Of Ravi Verma.

Incredible one, all the women are really looking alive, the ornaments looks shining and alive too.

That is the greatness of Ravi Varma. All his paintings look very realistic. The color combination, shading, make those Paintings just like Photographs.

Varma is not a common surname in Kerala since it was the name of a royal family and Raja Ravi Varma was part of the Travancore  Royal family .

Beautiful paintings! He was a great painter indeed.

I agree. It goes without saying, lot of hard work must have gone in creating these beautiful Paintings
