The Exhibition

At the turn of the 20th century, a profound visual revolution reshaped the cultural and spiritual landscape of the Indian subcontinent. The advent of mass chromolithography, pioneered by artists such as Raja Ravi Varma and early printing houses including the Calcutta Art Studio, Chore Bagan, and Kansari Para Art Studios, fundamentally democratized the sacred. For the first time, vibrant accessible paper prints brought religious imagery to the masses. This aesthetic evolution moved beyond flat prints, transforming Indian society through a dynamic combination of local artistry, colonial enterprise, and global trade. This exhibition explores these intersections of artistic exchange, tracing the transformation of mass-produced prints of early Indian presses into three-dimensional porcelain figurines.

Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Museum gratefully acknowledges Shri Anil Relia for the loan of artworks from his collection, which has made this exhibition possible.
