Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation and Google join hands to present the maestro’s prominent works in a virtual museum
You can now meet the maestro, painter prince Raja Ravi Varma, in virtual space and discuss his style that revolutionised Indian art. The “Royal Lithography and Legacy and other masterpieces”, an online venture of the Bengaluru-based Raja Ravi Varma Heritage Foundation and Google, has the main lithographs of Ravi Varma showcasing his 136 popular works.
Says Gitanjali Maini, CEO of the foundation, which was launched in 2015, “We are striving to promote the legacy of India’s foremost artist. And, we are happy to be rubbing shoulders with those like the Louvre Museum in the virtual space, as our foundation is one of the youngest, and the 50th partner of Google in its art initiative.”
