Description
This is a dressed/embellished oleograph of Rukmani Kalyanam by the artist C G Ramanujam. The oleograph depicts the marriage of Krishna to Rukmani or Rukmini. Krishna is the god of compassion, tenderness, and love; and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Indian divinities. This oleograph has been beautifully decorated by the original owner with fabric and sequins.
C G Ramanujam was one of the well-known artists who worked for the Ravi Varma Press. Ramanujam's portrayals of the deities and mythological subjects were heavily influenced by the Tanjore style of painting. The traditional attire, the jewellery and other elements also give a clear indication of the artist's roots in South India.

ABOUT Oleographs
Oleographs, also called chromolithographs, are multi-colour art prints, stemming from the process of lithography. Pioneered in the 1830s, the process of producing oleographs came into wide commercial use in the 1860s. The technique relied on using several woodblocks or stones with colours for printing, while hand-colouring remained an important aspect as well. Depending on the number of colours present, an oleograph could take months to produce by very skilled workers. Poor preservation and cheaper printing alternatives have made oleographs hard to find. Today, they are mainly used as fine art.
