why can we think of Raja Ravi Varma's paintings as national??​

Answer 1

We can think of Raja Ravi Varma's paintings as national because of the following reasons: (i) Raja Ravi Varma was one of the first artists who tired to create a style that was both modern and national. (ii) He mastered the western art of oil painting and realistic life study, but painted themes from Indian mythology

Answer 2

Raja Ravi Varma mastered the Western art of oil painting and realistic life study, but painted themes from Indian mythology. He dramatised on canvas, scene after scene from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. From the 1880s, Ravi Varma’s mythological paintings became the rage among Indian princes and art collectors.
