| Western Style of Painting: In the British period, Indian artists came under the influence of the European style of painting. An art school was established under the leadership of James Wales, a Scottish artist, in the time of Savai Madhavrao Peshwa in Shaniwar Wada in Pune. He had done a portrait of Savai Madhavrao and Nana Phadnavis. Gangaram Tambat, a Marathi artist who worked with Wales deserves a special mention here. He had made drawings of the rock-cut caves at Verul and Karle. Some of his drawings are preserved in the Yale Centre of British Art at Yale University. The exact portrayal of the object in the painting is characteristic of the European style. A number of renowned artists were trained in the J. J. School of Art and Industry, which was established in 1857 C.E., offering courses in the European style of painting. Pestonji Bomanji, alumni of this school made replicas of Ajanta paintings. |
