Sepia Mehrangarh fort

The sepia tones of this painting chosen for the depiction of the the iconic Mehrangarh fort perched majestically on a rocky hill overlooking the city of Jodhpur is a clever use of colour to evoke a sense of nostalgia.This particular sepia treatment of the painting gives us a glimpse into the artists mind and how he chooses to portray the building’s glorious presence. Rising 410 feet above the city the building has a stark and empowering silhouette that defines the skyline making it one of India’s most formidable and beautiful forts. This painting is a beautiful reminder of how old structures bear witness to the passage of time and changing tides of history, standing steadfast as human generations come and go.
