Kacha is a 1890 paint by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a loose, bright landscape with quick brushstrokes. The colors are mostly warm yellows and greens, with a hint of blue in the distance. It looks like a sunny day in a field or garden. The artist used small dabs of paint to build up the scene. This technique, called *impasto*, makes parts of the painting feel almost 3D. You can see it best in the lighter patches where the paint is thickest. Want to see more like this? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts the death of the sage Kacha, who was repeatedly targeted for elimination by the Asuras, rendered in watercolour and tin alloy on cardboard.
