Raja Ravi Varma, a renowned Indian painter from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, may not be traditionally considered a feminist artist as his work largely reflected the cultural and social norms of his time. However, some interpretations and analyses of his paintings highlight certain elements that can be seen as embodying feminist ideals. Here are a few perspectives on Raja Ravi Varma and feminism. One cannot help but look at Raja Ravi Varma's sensual representations of ladies in his paintings, which set the bar for Indian beauty. Raja Ravi Varma's aesthetics are still quite in vogue today. Raja Ravi Varma produced paintings that were both contemporary and traditional for his period and even today, showcasing European realism and romanticism. A Sotheby's auction in New York brought in nearly Rs 11 crore for a painting by the renowned artist. If you're wondering why Ravi Varma is still popular today, it's because he depicted India in the best possible light. The journey of Raja Ravi Varma's paintings from a little town to the renowned London auction house of Sotheby's has given them an afterlife that is maybe only surpassed by the life of the artist. In the history of the art market, the desire for the Raja's paintings of ladies has never been higher than it is now.
