A classical Mysore painting rendered on paper using natural pigments, subtle raised “Gesso” relief work, and pure 22KT gold leaf embellishment. The composition reimagines the mythical Pegasus within the refined South Indian court tradition, characterized by fine linework, delicate embossing, and luminous gold detailing.
Unlike the more ornate Tanjore style, Mysore paintings emphasize intricacy over opulence — with softer relief, finer detailing, and understated elegance.

Material: Hand-painted on paper using natural pigments
Style: Classical Mysore tradition
Artistic Origin: Mysore & Bangalore, India
Size: 10 × 12 inches

Etymology

Mysore derives from “Mahishuru,” historically associated with the legend of Mahishasura and the region that became present-day Mysuru.
Pegasus originates from Greek mythology — the divine winged horse born of Medusa’s blood.

In symbolic interpretation:
Pegasus represents freedom, aspiration, transcendence, and elevated consciousness.
It signifies the union of strength and imagination — earth-bound power rising toward the celestial.
Interpreted through Mysore’s classical idiom, Pegasus becomes ceremonial — embodying divine ascent, royal guardianship, and spiritual elevation.

Ideal for a living room, study, creative space, or formal interior where its dynamic symbolism can stand out. Warm, directional lighting enhances the gold leaf, allowing the artwork to radiate strength and grandeur without overwhelming the space.

MATERIAL AND CARE

Use a soft, natural-bristle brush, like a sable brush, to gently remove surface dust. Move lightly over the painting's surface without pressing to avoid damaging the paint.

Provenance

Mysore painting traces its lineage to the royal ateliers of South India, evolving after the decline of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 16th century. Master artists migrated toward Mysore and Tamil regions, where the tradition was refined under the patronage of the Wodeyar dynasty.

The style flourished particularly during the reign of Krishna Raja Wadiyar III, who nurtured a court culture that encouraged sacred, devotional, and refined aesthetic expression. Inspired by the mural traditions of the Ajanta Caves and Badami Caves, Mysore painting developed its distinctive character: fine linear precision, soft facial expressions, delicate relief, and restrained yet luminous gold embellishment.

Recognized under Geographical Indication (GI Application No. 32) and awarded GI status in 2005 as the 26th registered GI product of India, Mysore painting remains protected for its regional authenticity and craftsmanship.

This artwork is painted by Dr. J. D. Raja (National Awardee), continuing the royal atelier tradition.
