Mahadev Viswanath Dhurandhar

Mahadev Viswanath Dhurandhar (1867 - 1944) was active/lived in India.  Mahadev Dhurandhar is known for Painting.

Mahadev Visvanath Dhurandhar, also called Rao Bahadur, a title bestowed on him by the British government, was the first Indian director of the Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai.  He was born on March 18, 1867 in Kolhapur (a district in Maharashtra). His father understood and supported his son's extraordinary artistic talents and put him under the tutorship of famous painter Abalal Rehman.  The next step was the Sir J J School of Art in Mumbai, which he joined in 1890.  Dhurandhar was exposed to the works of the European and British artist, what with the entire faculty at the school being from Britain.  Unlike Eastern cultures, where art was oriented towards line drawing, in the West it was pictorially heavy.  Fascinated by this form of art, Indian students too began emulating the European Academic Art form, and Dhurandhar was a product of the same school of art.  He painted a lot of figurative works and studies of people like Raja Ravi Varma.
