Question

describe the main features of the painting of the Bengal school

Answer 1

. The Bengal painters have made best possible efforts to bring in the rhythm, linear gracefulness and poise of Ajanta in their painting. Influence of Mughal and Rajasthan School can also be seen.
. Elegant and refined figures and the paintings exhibited skilfully exposed light and shade without any hardness.
