Bengal Art: Kalighat & Woodcut

Kalighat painting and woodcut prints were popular 19th century folk arts in Bengal that depicted religious and social scenes. The art forms originated in the late 18th century, flourished in the 19th century, and declined in the early 20th century as their traditional audiences dwindled. Scholars like W.G. Archer, Hana Knizkova, B.N. Mukherjee, and Jyotindra Jain have studied these folk art traditions.
