The painting that you see on this page betrays Bengal’s pre-Independence architecture. The red-baked bricks and the row of high archways are the first hallmarks, followed by the small-paced steps and the wooden doors of a characteristic blue-green colour leading into separate rooms.
The structure bears striking resemblance to an ancient Krishna temple located in the hinterlands of the Eastern Delta. One could discern visitors climbing up and down the steep stone steps in order to catch a glimpse of the Lord.
The temple is set amidst the lush verdure of Bengal’s countryside. From the grass and sparse shrubbery in the foreground to the canopies at different levels in the painting, the artist has chosen a wide variety of tints and shades of the same colour. Note how the Tyndall effect perpetrated by the midday sun has been achieved with the introduction of texture into colour.
