Classical Wall Art

Classical — 9 museum-grade prints that set the mood. Kalighat Pat grew up in 19th-century Kolkata, painted by patua (chitrakar) scroll-painters who settled near the Kalighat Kali temple and sold quick watercolours to pilgrims. Alongside gods and goddesses they painted the everyday people of Calcutta — milkmaids, fish-sellers, musicians and dandies — in the same economical brush, which is why the form is often called India's first modern popular art. The Acropolis of Athens — crowned by the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena — is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most recognisable monuments of classical antiquity. Doric columns, the Greek key meander motif, and the olive branch all carry deep Hellenic symbolism: architectural order, continuity, and the sacred tree associated with Athena and Mediterranean peace.
