Kerala's
rich tradition of painting has it's roots in the magnificent Frescoes and
Mural found in the temples and the churches here.
Certain rituals like Kalamezhuthu also reveal this tradition of painting.
Before the advent of paper and ink, natives used the Palmyra leaf for
inscriptions and pictorial representations.
In modern times, Kerala's paintings attained international repute with
the works of Raja Ravi Varma, who has been described as a 'Prince' among
painters. Prominent among those who influenced the growth of modern art,
were K. Madhava Menon and K.C.S. Panicker.
