Patna Kalam Painting Style
The Patna Kalam, or Patna School of Painting, flourished in Bihar during the 18th and 19th centuries, blending Mughal and Company painting styles. Here are its key features:
Origin and Influences
- It evolved from the decline of Mughal patronage, with artists migrating from Delhi to Patna.
- Influenced by Mughal, Persian, and European styles, with a focus on commoners’ lives instead of royal portraits.
Characteristics of Patna Kalam
- Subject Matter: Unlike Mughal art, which focused on royalty, Patna Kalam depicted daily life—market scenes, festivals, and rural activities.
- Lack of Landscape: Backgrounds and landscapes were minimal, with emphasis on subjects like festivals and domestic settings.
- Technique: Paintings were done directly with a brush (Kajli Seahi), avoiding pencil outlines.
Legacy and Decline
- Popular in the 19th century but declined due to reduced patronage after British colonial rule.
- Despite the decline, Patna Kalam is recognized for its artistic contribution, focusing on detailed, vibrant depictions of ordinary people and events.
