Ravi Varma And Jon Mcnaughton Paintings

By Darren Hartley


Ravi Varma paintings are considered to be among the best examples of the fusion of Indian traditions with the techniques of European academic art. Ravi's exposure in the west came when he won the first prize in the Vienna Art Exhibition in 1873.

The maturity and completeness of Ravi Varma paintings came about in the later years spent by Ravi in Mysore, Baroda and other parts of the country. It was then that he sharpened and expanded his skills to full blossom. This was after he discovered and learned of new techniques and media in the field of painting during his stay at the royal palace of Thiruvananthapuram.

Ravi Varma paintings are striking case studies of academic art in India. Ravi was described as the greatest artist of modern India and a national builder showing the moral courage of a gifted high-born who took up the degrading profession of painting.

Instrumental to the development of Jon McNaughton paintings was Jon's deep love for the land of his pioneer heritage. These roots traces back to the small town of Grafton, Utah. The great promise that Jon showed at an early age led to a full scholarship to the Brigham Young University.

The works of the artists from the French Barbizon School of painting provided the inspiration for Jon McNaughton paintings. These consist of softly painted landscapes depicting genre scenes around the French countryside. They contained subtle tones of color and light. They became the springboard for the creativity found in Jon McNaughton paintings.

Jon McNaughton paintings are products of a belief that only the basic elements of a beautiful painting exist in nature. What actually creates the highest beauty of a landscape painting lies in the sentiment and feeling that flows from the mind and heart of an artist.
