Art painting

Art painting is tradition of antiquity in the land of India. Indians knew the art of painting since prehistoric times. The earliest paintings in India can be found on the walls of Bhimbetka caves in Madhya Pradesh. The next significant phase of Indian paintings in the ancient period can be seen in the frescoes from Ajanta depicting the life and style of that period realistically.
