Large Late 19th-Early 20th Century Exotic Depiction of Lord Krishna & Lady Radha Painting (Batik) with Original Decorative Wooden Frames 44x34" (in Batik) The development and refinement of Indonesian batik cloth was closely linked to Islam. The Islamic prohibition on certain images encouraged batik design to become more abstract and intricate. Realistic depictions of animals and humans are rare on traditional batik. However, mythical serpents, humans with exaggerated features and the Garuda of pre-Islamic mythology are common motifs.
Although its existence pre-dates Islam, batik reached its zenith in royal Muslim courts such as Mataram and Yogyakarta, whose sultans encouraged and patronised batik production.

Of the Jaipur School, the famous style of Dhundhar region, late 19th century,
Here’s the story behind Krishna & Radha art. Radha loved Krishna so passionately that after he made Rukmini and Satyabhama his wives…had children and raised a family…then fought the great war of Ayodhya, her love for him never wavered. This love was so powerful that anytime the name Krishna is referred to – it is incomplete without the exaltation of the name Radha. For centuries, this one spectacular love theme has inspired painters, poets, musicians and other artists. In most cases you’ll find the Krishna & Radha design in unique Miniature Paintings. In addition to that, Patachitras and Madhubani Paintings are based on these two immortal lovers. It’s through the eyes of creative artists that Krishna & Radha pictures, such as this one, come to life.
