Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), India’s pioneering artist, blended Western realism with Indian themes. His iconic oil paintings brought mythology and history to life. A visionary, he made art accessible through prints, shaping Indian visual culture.
Raja Ravi Varma’s Radha in the Moonlight (1890), depicts the luminous Radha seated on a rocky riverbank, bathed in silvery moonlight. Portrayed as an uttama nayika of unparalleled beauty, she radiates intelligence and sensitivity while awaiting Krishna. Beside her lies a pooja thali with flowers and sweetmeats, signifying the ritual of worship before their union. The work masterfully combines human and divine love, capturing the glimmering water and Radha’s quiet anticipation in a highly romantic atmosphere.
