Artist
Mangnu



Mangnu is an Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Mangnu’s paintings bring India’s sacred stories to life in vivid detail. Around 1760 they rendered scenes from Hindu myths, like Vishnu as Matsya, where the god takes the form of a fish to save the world, while later works from the 1860s and 1870s show finely painted figures and nature. Their style sits in a tradition of Indian narrative painting, where every brushstroke tells a story. Tap Vishnu as Matsya to step into this world of gods and legends.
