Contrary to the popular belief that Tanjore paintings only portray religious figures, in modern times any subject can be sketched in Tanjore style. We offer a wide range of custom Tanjore paintings, done intricately with vivid color, 22-carat gold, and high-quality materials.
Hailing from the rich culture of Tamilnadu, Tanjore paintings are a significant beauty in the art realm, patronized by enthusiasts all around the world. Antique Tanjore paintings owe their origins to the Chola dynasty, dating back to the 16th century.
The distinguishing features of Tanjore paintings include vivid colors, gold foils, and almond-shaped eyes with precious and semi-precious embellishments.
The subjects of Tanjore’s paintings are predominantly deities from the Hindu religion, with other notable figures from age-old manuscripts likely Annam, Kamadhenu, and Parrot, all of which hold significant value in the religion.
Tanjore paintings were sketched with devotion and used for worship in the home. However, in the Chola periods and in the following Maratha, Nayak, and Raya dynasties, Tanjore paintings were equally sketched to depict the kings, their consorts, and their families.
As with any other art that evolved and transcended into form, Tanjore’s paintings also took on a new manifestation, embodying the likings and characteristics of the people. Marathas, being great patrons of art, introduced the embellishments, further improvising the exquisite art style.
Rising above various dynasties and the testament of time, Tanjore paintings are now a proud medal of the artistic excellence of Tanjore, along with dance and artifacts. Even today, the revered art style is used for worship in Tamil homes. Furthermore, in offices and other spaces, Tanjore paintings are meticulously used as decorative elements as a symbol of history and culture.
Rather than just being a space to reside in, homes have now become a part of us, each ingredient of the space representing and motivating us. Including elements that are artistically rich will invoke the hidden creative spirit in our souls. Furthermore, these paintings fill the spaces with positive energy and bring home harmony and peace. It also becomes a topic of conversation whenever someone steps into your home.
