Artist

Nandlal

Nandlal is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Nandlal was a quiet dreamer who doodled gods on scraps of paper between chores. He painted nothing but gods, simple line drawings of Krishna playing flute or Durga riding a lion, yet his lines hum with life, like the first scratch of a match in the dark. If you like a sketch that feels alive without trying too hard, track down his Untitled (ca. 1830) and watch how a few strokes can hold an entire story.
