राजा रवी वर्मा यांची स्वाक्षरी

राजा रवि वर्मा, (मल्याळम भाषा:രാജാ രവി വര്‍മ ; रोमन लिपी: Raja Ravi Varma ;) (एप्रिल २९, इ.स. १८४८- ऑक्टोबर २, इ.स. १९०६) हा भारताच्या त्रावणकोरच्या राजघराण्यातील एक चित्रकार होता. त्याने भारतीय साहित्य आणि संस्कृतीतील पात्रांची रंगीत चित्रे काढली. राज रविवर्म्याने काढलेल्या चित्रांनंतरच हिंदूंना आपले देव कसे दिसत असावॆत, ते समजले. भारतातील परंपरागत हिंदू महाकाव्ये आणि पुराणांतील कथा यांवर रविवर्म्यानॆ काढलेली चित्रे आजही प्रमाण मानली जातात.

रविवर्म्याचा जन्म एका राजघराण्यात २९ एप्रिल १८४८ रोजी केरळमधील कोईल तंपुरन येतील किलिमनूर राजवाड्यात झाला. त्याचे वडील मोठे विद्वान व आई ही कवयित्री होती. त्याच्या आईने लिहिलेले काव्य, 'पार्वती स्वयंवर' हे रविवर्म्याने तिच्या मृत्यूनंतर प्रसिद्ध केले. राजा रवि वर्माला सी.गोडा वर्मा नावाचा भाऊ व मंगला नावाची बहीण होती.त्याच्या बालपणीच त्याला महाराज अलियम् तिरुनल या त्याच्या नातलग राजाचा आश्रय मिळाला. रविवर्म्याचे काका उत्तम चित्रकार होते. तो वारसा पुतण्यात उतरला. याशिवाय त्रिवेंद्रमच्या राजदरबारी असणारे इंग्रज चित्रकार थी ओडेर जेन्सन, रामस्वामी नायडू यांच्या चित्रकारितेचा प्रभाव त्यांच्यावर पडला. त्रावणकोर महाराजांच्य प्रोत्साहनामुळे त्याला अधिकच प्रेरणा मिळाली.

१८७३ मध्ये मद्रास येथील चित्रकलेच्या स्पर्धेत रविवर्म्याने सुवर्णपदक मिळवले. महाराजांच्या दरबारात असणाऱ्या इटालियन तैलचित्रांकडे पाहून त्याने तैलचित्रे काढण्याचे ठरवले.

राजा रविवर्म्याच्या चित्रांत एक सुंदर, प्रमाणबद्ध व सौंदर्यवती साडी नेसलेली स्त्री असते. त्याचा स्टुडिओ महाराष्ट्रात लोणावळ्याला होता. तेव्हा दिसलेल्या मराठी स्त्रियांकडे पाहून त्याने तशाच स्त्रिया चित्रांत रंगवल्या. सन इ.स. १८७३ मध्ये, व्हिएन्ना येथे झलेल्या कला प्रदर्शनात त्याला मिळालेल्या प्रथम पारितोषिकामुळे तो जागतिक क्षेत्रावर प्रकाशझोतात आला.

कला जीवन[संपादन]

राजा रविवर्म्याने चित्रांतील विविध विषयासाठी भारतभर प्रवास केला. त्याचे 'दुष्यंत व शकुन्तला','नल व दमयंती, या विषयावरील चित्रे प्रसिद्ध आहेत. त्याच्या चित्रांनी भारतीयांस त्यांच्या धर्मग्रंथांतील द्दष्ये डोळ्यासमोर साकार झाली. ही त्याची चित्रे सर्व भारतभर प्रसिद्ध झाली.

आधुनिक भारतीय वास्तववादी चित्रकलेचा जनक म्हणून राजा रविर्म्याचे नाव घेतले जाते.

युरोपियन चित्रकारांप्रमाणे ‘कमिशन पोट्र्रेट’ काढणारे ते पहिले भारतीय चित्रकार. त्यांच्या चित्रकलेवर पाश्चात्त्यांचा पगडा असला तरी त्यांची चित्रे मात्र अस्सल भारतीय होती. रामायण-महाभारतातील प्रसंग, विश्वामित्र-मेनका, दुष्यंत-शकुंतला, उर्वशी-पुरुरवा अशी एकापेक्षा एक सरस चित्रे आपल्या वास्तववादी शैलीच्या कलाकृतीतून चितारली आहेत. आपली चित्रे छापण्यासाठी त्यांनी लोणावळ्याजवळील मळवली येथे शिळा (प्रेस) छापखाना उभारला. या छापखान्यातून हजारो देवदेवतांची चित्रं साऱ्या भारतभर पूजली जाऊ लागली. देवतांना मानवी चेहरे देण्याचे काम रविवर्मा यांनी केले.

आपल्या चित्रांतून भारतीय संस्कृतीचा ठसा जगात पोहचविणाऱ्या रविवर्माना अनेक मानसन्मान मिळाले. शिकागोच्या आंतरराष्ट्रीय प्रदर्शनात स्थान मिळणारे ते एकमेव. सातव्या एडवर्डने कैसर-ए-हिंद’ हा पुरस्कार देऊन त्यांना गौरविले होते. त्या काळात देशविदेशातील राजांचे राजवाडे राजा रविवर्माच्या चित्रांच्या दालनांनी सजले होते. त्यांच्या चित्रातून मानवी स्वभावाच्या भावना, छटा सहजसुंदरतेने दर्शविल्या. वयाच्या ५८ व्या वर्षी २ ऑक्टोबर १९०६ रोजी त्यांचे निधन झाले. भारतीय कलेच्या इतिहासात तो उत्कृष्ट चित्रकारांपैकी एक समजला जातो.

राजाची पदवी[संपादन]

इ.स. १९०४ मध्ये, भारताचे व्हाइसरॉय लॉर्ड कर्झन यांनी केसर-इ-हिंद या सुवर्णपदकाने सन्मानित केले. त्यावेळेस त्याचे नांव 'राजा रवि वर्मा' असे नोंदविलॆ गेले. ^[१]. इ.स. १९९३ मध्ये,नवी दिल्ली येथे त्याच्या चित्रांचे प्रदर्शन भरले.त्याने भारतीय कलेस दिलेल्या योगदानाचा गौरव म्हणून केरळ सरकारने त्याच्या नावानेराजा रवि वर्मा पुरस्कार सुरू केला. हा कला व संस्कृतीच्या क्षेत्रात उत्कृष्ट प्रावीण्य दाखविणाऱ्याला प्रतिवर्षी दिला जातो.

Jatayu struck down by Ravana fromRamayana

Raja Ravi Varma Coil Thampuran^[3] (Malayalam: രാജാ രവിവർമ്മ; 29 April 1848 – 5 October 1906) was an Indian painter and artist from the princely state of Travancore (presently in southern Kerala & some parts of Tamil Nadu) who achieved recognition for his paintings depicting scenes from Indian literature and mythology including the epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana. He is considered among the greatest painters in the history of Indian art and his paintings are considered to be among the best examples of the fusion of Indian traditions with the techniques of European academic art^{[citation needed]} . Varma's paintings portrayed sari-clad women in graceful manner, which became an important motif of that time, reproductions being found in many homes.^[4]

[hide]

Art career[edit]

Varma was patronized by Ayilyam Thirunal, the then Maharajah of Travancore and began formal training thereafter.^[5] He learned the basics of painting in Madurai. Later, he was trained in water painting by Rama Swami Naidu and in oil painting by Dutch portraitist Theodor Jenson.

The studio used by Varma during his stay at theLaxmi Vilas Palace

Varma received widespread acclaim after he won an award for an exhibition of his paintings at Vienna in 1873. Varma's paintings were also sent to the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 and he was awarded three gold medals.^[6] He travelled throughout India in search of subjects. He often modelled Hindu Goddesses onSouth Indian women, whom he considered beautiful. Ravi Varma is particularly noted for his paintings depicting episodes from the story of Dushyanta and Shakuntala, andNala and Damayanti, from the Mahabharata. Ravi Varma's representation of mythological characters has become a part of the Indian imagination of the epics. He is often criticized for being too showy and sentimental in his style but his work remains very popular in India. Many of his fabulous paintings are housed at Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara.^[7]

Inspiration[edit]

As narrated in the novel "Raja Ravi Varma" by Ranjit Desai, There was a woman called Sugandha Bai who became inspiration for Raja Ravi Varma to paint gods and goddesses as human beings. Once Ravi Varma happened to see this beautiful lady in a temple and suddenly felt inspired. He then sketched Sugandha Bai's portrait and gifted her. Sugandha Bai got attracted towards Raja Ravi Varma's sketches and agreed to become his model to portray Hindu Goddesses in his paintings.

Raja Ravi Varma Press[edit]

Lady Giving Alms at the Temple

Apparently on the advice of the then Dewan (Prime Minister) of Travancore, T. Madhava Rao, Ravi Varma started a lithographic printing press in Ghatkopar, Mumbai in 1894 and later shifted it to Malavli near Lonavala, Maharashtra in 1899. The press was managed by Varma's brother, Raja Varma. In 1901 the press was sold to his printing technician from Germany, Mr. Schleicher and later closed down after it was gutted in an accidental fire.^[8] The oleographs produced by the press were mostly of Hindu gods and goddesses in scenes adapted mainly from the Mahabharata, the Ramayana and the Puranas. These oleographs were very popular and continued to be printed in thousands for many years, even after the 1906 death of Ravi Varma.

Honours[edit]

In 1904, Viceroy Lord Curzon, on behalf of the British King Emperor, bestowed upon Varma the Kaisar-i-Hind Gold Medal. A college dedicated to fine arts was also constituted in his honour at Mavelikara, Kerala. Raja Ravi Varma High School at Kilimanoor was named after him and there are many cultural organizations throughout India bearing his name. In 2013, the crater Varma on Mercury was named in his honor.^[9] Considering his vast contribution to Indian art, the Government of Kerala has instituted an award called "Raja Ravi Varma Puraskaram", which is awarded every year to people who show excellence in the field of art and culture.

Personal life[edit]

Raja Ravi Varma was born as Ravi Varma Coil Thampuran^[10] in Kilimanoor palace in the erstwhile Thiruvithankur in Kerala. His father Ezhumavil Neelakanthan Bhattatiripad was an accomplished scholar, who hailed from theErnakulam district in Kerala. His mother Umayamba Thamburatty was a poet and writer whose work Parvati Swayamvaram was published by Varma after her death. He had 3 siblings namely Goda Varma (born 1854), Raja Varma (born 1860) and Mangala Bayi, who was also a painter. As per the Marumakkathayam tradition, the name of the maternal uncle (Raja Raja Varma) was prefixed to his name and later he was referred to as Raja Ravi Varma.^[5]

Varma was married to Pururuttathi Nal Bhageerathi Thamburatty of the royal house of Mavelikkara and they had two sons and three daughters. Their elder son, Kerala Varma, born in 1876 went missing in 1912 and was never heard of again. Their second son Rama Varma (born 1879), an artist who studied at the JJ School of Arts, Mumbai, married to Gowri Kunjamma, sister of Dewan PGN Unnithan. Varma's eldest daughter, Ayilyam Nal Mahaprabha, appears in two of his prominent paintings and was mother of Maharani Pooradam thirunal Sethu Lakshmi Bayi, the Regent of Travancore. Their second daughter, Thiruvadira Nal Kochukunji was the mother of Amma Maharani Moolam Thirunal Sethu Parvathi Bayi and the grandmother of Maharajah Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma. Their third daughter, born in 1882, was Ayilyam Nal Cheria Kochamma.

His descendants comprise the Mavelikara Royal house while two of his grand daughters, including the said Sethu Lakshmi Bayi and Sethu Parvathi Bayi, were adopted to the Travancore Royal Family, the cousin family of the Mavelikara House, to which lineage the present Travancore Maharajah (Titular), Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma, belonged. Well known among his descendants are writers Aswathi Thirunal Gowri Lakshmi Bayi, Shreekumar Varma, artist Rukmini Varma and classical musician Aswathi Thirunal Rama Varma among others.
