Tanjore painting is a traditional form of art in the South Indian style and was started by the inhabitants of a small town known as Thanjavur of Tamil Nadu. This gives it another name called "Thanjavur painting". This painting draws its figures, designs, and inspiration from the time when Vedic culture was prevalent in India. Certain remarkable features of a Tanjore painting distinguish it from other paintings. Some of these are pure gold or gold foil coating on gesso work, the use of rich and vivid colors, and the inlay of cut-glass or semi-precious and precious stones. The subjects of most of the Tanjore paintings are Hindu Gods, Goddesses, and saints. The main devotional figure is portrayed in the central portion of the painting and is usually surrounded by various secondaey figures
Thanjavur painting is a classical South Indian painting style, originating in the town of Thanjavur (Tanjore) in Tamil Nadu.
The art form draws its immediate resources and inspiration from way back about 1600 AD
a period when theNayakas of Thanjavur under the suzerainty of the Vijayanagara Rayas encouraged art
—chiefly, classical dance and music—as well asliterature,
both in Telugu and Tamil and painting of chiefly Hindu religious subjects in temples.
It is distinguished by its famous gold foil. However, it can safely be surmised that Thanjavur painting, as we know it now,
originated in the Maratha court of Thanjavur (1676–1855).
It has been recognized as a Geographical indication by the Government of India in 2007–08.
Thanjavur paintings are characterised by rich and vivid colors, simple iconic composition, glittering gold foils overlaid on
delicate but extensive gesso work and inlay of pieces or very precious and semi-precious gems.
