By the 1830s, artists had arrived from rural villages in Bengal and began to produce paintings that reflected local history, mythology, customs and conflicts of a colonised society. As a popular art form, these artists are recognised for their use of brilliant colour, simplified images and swift brushstrokes that became the hallmark of Kalighat painting in the 19th and early 20th century.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Painting, Uma leaving the house of her father, Himavat, opaque watercolour on paper, Kalighat, Kolkata, ca. 1885","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Archer, W G: 'Kalighat Paintings', V&A, 1971, p71, 25lv"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"Uma, an alternative name for Parvati, the wife of Shiva, leaving the house of her father, Himavat.","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"Parvati","id":"N735"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"deity","id":"x31373"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["IS.588-1950"],"accessionNumberNum":"588","accessionNumberPrefix":"IS","accessionYear":1950,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-12","recordCreationDate":"2002-12-17","availableToBook":true}}
