Krishna 2

Lord Krishna is a prominent figure depicted in the Bikaner school of painting, a sub-school of Rajasthani painting, as well as in other Indian miniature paintings. The artists patronized for capturing the essence of the divine beauty, charm, and playfulness of Govinda have left behind exquisite paintings that continue to be cherished both as artistic and spiritual expressions of devotion.
Mahaveer Swami, a renowned painter from Bikaner, has gracefully portrayed Madhava in many of his works, which span a range of religious and mythological themes.
Not only in paintings of Krishna but also in other masterpieces by Swami, one can observe delicate brushwork, the use of vibrant yet subtle colours, and intricate details – such as facial expressions, passionate eyes, charming smiles, vivid backgrounds featuring serene lakes and blooming flowers, and regal attire and ornaments – that enhance the overall composition.
