Description

Oleograph of “Sri Ramapattabhishekam” by the artist CG Ramanujam. Abhisheka in Sanskrit means "bathing of the divinity to whom worship is offered." It is a religious rite or method of prayer in which a devotee pours a liquid offering on the god or goddess. This is portrayed here as part of the coronation of Rama after his defeat of Ravana, when he returned to be crowned king of Ayodhya. To Rama’s right sits his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana stands holding his bow. Rama’s other brothers Bharata and Shatrughna are standing in attendance holding flywhisks. Hanuman, the exemplary devotee, is touching Rama’s foot at the bottom to the left. Above him is Sugriva, the king of Vanars, as well as the bear like figure Jambavan, a great warrior and strategist. At the bottom right is Ravana’s brother (blue figure) and his followers, who switched to Rama’s side during the war.

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.
