Ochre Amber Wall Art

Ochre Amber — 3 museum-grade prints in this palette. The Kotah and Bundi ateliers of southeastern Rajasthan share a school and are jointly celebrated for hunting scenes — dramatic shikar chases through dense, lovingly painted jungle, a genre the Kotah workshops in particular made their signature. The royal tiger hunt was both a sport and a display of princely prowess. Marwar, the desert court of Jodhpur, is the most intense of the Rajasthan-plains Rajput schools — saffron and deep-red grounds, jewel-strong colour, and a particular pride in the white Marwari horse, whose distinctive inward-curving ears made it a favourite subject for profile cavalcade scenes. The ghodi baarat, in which the groom is paraded on a decorated mare, carries the same ceremonial pomp the old courts gave to royal processions. Marwar, the desert court of Jodhpur, prized horses and horseback sport above almost all else, and chaugan — the mounted stick-and-ball game from which modern polo descends — was a celebrated court pastime, often painted as a lively diagonal melee. The school is the most intense of the Rajasthan-plains traditions, with saffron and deep-red grounds and jewel-strong colour.
