{"product_id":"ravi-varma-press-varini-fine-art-print","title":"Ravi Varma Press — Varini | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA young woman stands half-turned from us at the edge of a forest pool, her head in profile, her back and shoulders bare, a coral-pink sari draped from her hips to the grass. She wears a pearl necklace, a pearl drop earring and two bangles, one gold, one set with white stones. A white swan glides on the dark water at left, small pink flowers bloom at right, and sunlit foliage in green, gold and rust closes in around her. The printed signature Ravi Varma sits at lower right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ravi Varma Press printed three pictures of nymphs in the midst of nature, derived from Raja Ravi Varma's paintings: Padmini, Varini and Vasantika. This is the print of Varini, who is shown alone in a forest beside the water, and it was issued from the press at Karla-Lonavala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: chromolithograph, about 1910, Ganesh Shivaswamy Foundation, Bengaluru.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ravi Varma Fine Art Lithographic Press was founded by the painter Raja Ravi Varma in 1894 at Ghatkopar, near Bombay, and moved in 1899 to Malavli near Lonavala. Its German printing technician, Fritz Schleicher, bought it in 1901. The press printed oleographs, colour lithographs made to resemble oil paintings, after Ravi Varma's canvases: Hindu gods and goddesses and scenes from the Mahabharata, the Ramayana and the Puranas, sold cheaply and in thousands. Printing continued long after the painter's death in 1906, and under Schleicher the press also commissioned designs from other artists and printed commercial labels. Its prints are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
