Gaganendranath Tagore's landscapes are exceptionally emotive, in
that they create a feeling of what the artist attempts to
express. His earliest sketches and landscapes date back to 1905.
Inspired by Japanese artist Yokoyama Taikan, Gaganendranath's
landscapes achieve the right blend of capturing Bengal's vast
landscapes and romanticizing them. Gaganendranath's interest in
life and later art, was limited to and conditioned by his love
for everything swadeshi (native).
in this painting, we are shown a cluster of Puri temples,
emphasizing the architectural shapes, and pointed shikaras of the
temples, rather than the details of the structures or the
devotees around it.
