| Thanjavur has the legacy of painting from chola period. The famous Thanjavur Wooden Painting Fresco painting in the Brihadisvara temple is compared with Ajanta and Ellora painting. The tradition was improved by the Nayak Kings with Vijayanagara technique. Later the Maratha Kings improved the style of painting. Now the Maratha style of painting is known as Thanjavur style of painting. It has little variation from other styles and certain influences of others. Most of the paintings drawn after 1750 have the influence of Moghul art and later British. We can find the Thanjavur painting mostly in four forms as wall painting, wooden painting, glass painting and paintings on paper. Quite a number of wooden paintings and glass paintings are available in many temples, mutts, museums etc. Mostly we could see that the body of the portrait is decorated with gold foils and faces with big eyeballs. |
