Answer:
- Raja Ravi Varma was one of the first artists who tried to create a style that was both modern and national.
- He used the Western art of oil painting and realistic life study to paint themes from Indian mythology.
- He dramatised on canvas scene after scene from the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.
- This portrayal of an Indian consciousness is what makes his paintings national.
- This was perhaps one of the reasons why his paintings were popular not only among Indian princes and art collectors but also among the masses.
