AN EXCEPTIONAL TANJORE SCHOOL PAINTING OF KOTHANDA RAMAExpert's note: The iconography of Kothanda Rama, depicting Rama holding the bow, is a long-established and well-documented subject within Hindu visual culture. It appears in Indian sculpture, bronze casting, and painting traditions over many centuries, particularly in South India, where the image is closely associated with royal virtue and dharma. The present work is a Tanjore painting dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, produced at a time when the Tanjore school had reached a high level of technical mastery. The painting incorporates extensive applications of solid 24-karat gold foil, carefully integrated into the composition. It shows a clear influence of late 19th- and early 20th-century Indian naturalist tendencies, most evident in the expressive modeling of the faces and the reduced yet powerful representation of the figures overall. A related depiction of Kothanda Rama appeared in 1927 as a chromolithograph intended for much wider circulation, created by G. V. Venkatesh Rao and produced by the Raja Ravi Varma Press. This later printed image reflects the significance of this very subject and underscores the importance of earlier painted interpretations, such as the present work.South India, late 19th-early 20th century. Watercolors, gouache, and 24-carat gold foil on paper, laid down on wood.

(2)The Tanjore (Thanjavur) school of painting is a South Indian devotional tradition that developed from the late 16th century onward under the Nayaka and Maratha courts of Thanjavur, in present-day Tamil Nadu. The school is characterized by frontal, hieratic representations of Hindu deities, an emphasis on clarity of iconography, and a strong focus on material presence rather than pictorial illusion. Technically, Tanjore paintings are distinguished by their use of a prepared wooden support, a gesso-like relief ground, and the extensive application of gold foil, sometimes combined with glass or semi-precious stones. Color is typically saturated and opaque, with limited spatial depth, reinforcing the devotional function of the image. The raised surfaces and reflective gold are integral to the visual impact and are not merely decorative but central to the aesthetic logic. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the school underwent a period of renewed refinement. While maintaining its core formal conventions, it absorbed influences from naturalistic painting, particularly in facial modeling and proportional coherence. This phase is generally regarded as the last moment in which the tradition sustained both technical rigor and artistic individuality, before later standardization and commercial repetition set in.Auction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's London, 25 May 2017, lot 88Price: GBP 16,250 or approx.
