Untitled is a 1878 oil by John Griffiths, a british_romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting copies an old cave scene from Ajanta in India. It shows a Buddha story painted by hand long ago. The colors are soft, like wet chalk. Artists once made copies of Ajanta’s art to save them. Most copies were lost in a fire in 1866. John Griffiths worked hard to copy these caves before time erased them. Try looking up Griffiths, John next.
