Kansa’s Demise Lithograph

Relive the climactic moment of Indian mythology with this 100-year-old oleograph, depicting the dramatic end of Kansa at the hands of Krishna. This 100 year old artwork from the R U & V Press, Ghatkopar is a vivid portrayal of divine justice, capturing the essence of India’s rich narrative tradition.

The composition brims with tension and victory: Kansa’s defeated figure sprawls across the foreground, his opulent attire contrasting sharply with the raw power and determination of Krishna. The young deity stands triumphant, wielding his mace, embodying dharma's triumph over adharma. The architectural backdrop, with its intricate arches and regal setting, adds depth and grandeur, emphasizing Kansa’s fall from power within his very palace.

The artistry of this oleograph lies in its attention to detail—Kansa’s anguished expression, Krishna’s dynamic stance, and the vivid colors that narrate this age-old tale of heroism and justice. The muted tones, softened by the passage of time, lend the piece a timeless patina, enhancing its vintage appeal.

Housed in its original wooden frame, this rare artifact serves as a window into the artistic legacy of the Ravi Varma Press. It is not just a print but a tangible connection to a bygone era of storytelling and craftsmanship.

Condition: Visible aging with minor wear consistent with a century-old artifact. The frame adds to its authenticity and charm.
Provenance: Verified vintage piece from Raja Ravi Varma’s artistic lineage.
