Shri Chaitanya Under Garud Stambha

Nandalal's work reflects changing landscapes, portraits of people, sketches from life, and places of changing outlooks in the modern Indian cultural domain. His nature to explore the various materials and mediums allowed him to make a prolific body of work in different mediums. Along with his explorations of the art learning from the Tagores and Ajanta murals' art, he also imbibed art techniques from the European indigenous tradition and the Japanese wash technique. In this painting, portraying Shri Chaitanya is sitting under the Stambha, one can see the reflection of all these styles, as seen in the wash technique he uses and the light effect he creates in the painting.
