Indian painting is an old tradition; its history goes back to antiquity. It shows many different styles, generally classified as murals and miniatures, and movements like Mughal, Mysore, Tanjore, Madhubani, Bengal School, and Samikshavad, the first in modern India. Western influences also had an impact on Indian modern art like "the Company style". Modern Painting has changed from mystery and Hindu gods to subjects with inspiration in present social and economical problems; still, the respect for tradition and the ability to transcend it at the same time is clearly evident in Indian art of today. [1]
Miniature painting include literature on the Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
At first glance, an Indian miniature painting, to the uninitiated, appears nothing more than a clutter and tangle of pastoral settings, dominated by masculine and feminine figures. Yet these scenes are not detached visions of artistic expression but provide the basis of Indian music and art forms. [2]
Some important indian painters were: Manaku of Guler, Hemen Majumdar, Abanindranath Tagore, Raja Ravi Varma, Jamini Roy, Ram Chandra Shukla and M. F. Hussein.
