On the basis of the fundamentals of painting evaluate the world renowned the painting mother Teresa done by m.f. husain
Answers
In his life, Husain had done many series and one of these was Mother Teresa. The venerated figure of Mother Teresa first appeared in the art of Maqbool Fida Husain in 1980. Since then the numerous canvases dedicated to the subject of Mother Teresa stand as testimony to the profound impact the saint had on the artist’s life and work. While often depicted as a faceless entity, these paintings explore notions not only of the Mother Teresa herself, but of motherhood in general, from the biblical Virgin Mary to Husain’s own mother who died when he was very young. Husain repeatedly borrows elements from Renaissance painting and sculpture in these compositions, and quotes the pointed arches of cathedral architecture in this work. His handling of clothing also picks up on the 15th century Italian preoccupation with realism in the representation of drapery and the folds of ecclesiastical robes in this work.
