- About the Artist: Rama Varma was the son of Raja Ravi Varma. Rama Varma inherited much of his father’s artistic skill. Known as 'artist Tampuran', he pursued higher studies in the Art of Painting at Sir J.J.School of Arts, Bombay and on completion set up his studio at Ravi Vilas Palace. Since oleographic prints of Ravi Varma's works were available in plenty, people had begun to understand the greatness of painting and art. When locals and some outsiders showed a keen interest in the art of painting, Rama Varma established the Ravi Varma School of Painting in 1915 in memory of his father.
