Famous Artists in India

The ancestry of Indian paintings dates back to 5500 BC. The petroglyphs at Bhimbedka, Madhya Pradesh are the oldest situations of human drawings in the subcontinent. The tradition continued in frescos, murals and miniatures at Ajanta and Ellora caves, temples and palaces. Later on, it was diversified with time and space into Eastern, Western and Malwa, Deccan and Jaunpur miniatures, charismatic Mughal college, Rajput college, Mysore college, Tanjore college, Madhubani style, folk types like Pattachitra, Bengal College and ultimately into Modern day and/ or Modern day types.

Petroglyphs of Bhimbedka have been designed by nameless personalities. No one can name the painters of Ajanta, Ellora or sculptors of Khajuraho and Konark. But we can trace creators of Mughal College as Abdus Samad,Mir, Sayyed Ali, Sultan Jehangir, Ustad Mansur, Abul Hasan and Bishandas and continued by Mir Hashim, Mohammad Faqirullah Khan, Muhammad Nadir, Anupchhatar Chitarman, Bichitr, Manohar and Honhar. Yet the most of the practitioners involved in the other schools as effectively as also folk types had sank into oblivion.

Definitely it was against the prevalent designs and types as promoted chiefly by Raja Ravi Verma of Cochi royal lineage and also against the British College of art.
