ORIGIN::Rajasthani school of miniature painting flourished between 16th to early 19th century in the principalities of Rajasthan. Dr. A coomarswami
The great scholar of Indian Art History discovered this school and introduced it as Rajput school. Later this school was called Rajasthani school. Rajasthan is divided in to parts by the aravali parvat,on the west are the jodhpur ,Bikaner and Jaisalmer to the east Mewar ,Bubdi ,kishan garh and kota .first of all the painting started from Mewar to Bundi and other parts of state.
It was inspired and influenced by Jain manuscripts painting of Gujrat along with Indian traditional art. Krishna leela is the most popular theme in the Rajasthani school. these topic have been derived from the literary work of Surdas .Tulsidas ,Meera bai Keshav das and Bihari lal also from Bhagvat Puran Ramayna and Geet Govinda etc.
DEVELOPMENT::Two major factors contributed greatly to the development of Rajasthani Paintings. First, the commercial community of Rajputana was economically prosperous. Second, the revival of ‘Vaisnavism’ and the growth of Bhakti cult provided a direction to the development of a distinct school. The influence of poets and seers like Ramanuja (worshipper of Vishnu) in the 14th century and writers like Jaydev (worshipper of Krishna) greatly influenced thinking, spiritual awakening and art of the people of large parts of India. The Rajasthani School, akin to many others, was influenced greatly by the advent of Ramananda, Tulsidas, Kabir, Raidasa etc. This is how the subjects of the Rajput paintings included the Sri Ram Charit Manas, Geet-Govinda, the divine love of Radha and Krishna, ancient tales, lives of saints, Baramasa (monthly festivities of the year) and Ragamala (Rag-Raginis) and religious texts such as the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagvat Purana, Krishna Lila and Devi Mahatmyam
Answer:
Although Mughal influence became clear in the later years of its development, it originated from Western Indian manuscript illustrations.
Explanation:
In its bolder use of colour, abstracted and conventionalized conception of the human figure, and ornamental treatment of the landscape, Rjasthn painting differs from the Mughal painting of the imperial ateliers at Delhi and the provincial courts. The stories of the Hindu cowherd god Krishna and his favourite companion, Rdh, are primarily depicted, in keeping with the recent upsurge in popular devotionalism within Hinduism. Scenes from India's two major epics, musical modes (rgamls), and types of heroines (nyiks) are all illustrated to varying degrees. Court portraits, court scenes, and hunting scenes all rose in popularity in the 18th century.
