Description:

   In this exquisite oleograph print,  Lord Shiva is portrayed in serene meditation amidst the sacred peaks of Kailash as Kailash Nath. The artist’s eye for detail, from the tranquil flow of the Ganga to the soft glow of the moon, transforms this oleograph into a moment of peace you can almost step into. This print carries the publisher’s and press’s details, enduring symbols of authenticity from the golden age of Indian lithography and oleography.

What is lithography and Oleography print?

    The Greek word litho means ‘stone’ and graphein means ‘to write’ so Lithography can be defined as ‘stone printing’. The printing plate originally used were porous stones. The priting portion of the stone plate was treated to absorb ink and the nonprinting area was treated to repel ink. Depending on the number of colours present, an oleograph could take months to produce by very skilled workers.

The oleography process is a variation of lithography, but instead of using a single stone or plate, multiple stones or plates are used, each carrying a different color. Lithograph and oleograph prints also differ in appearance. Oleograph prints are slightly thicker than lithographs, with a more textured, matte finish, and they have the look of an oil painting. 

And on the other hand, lithograph prints are very thin, to be more precise they are paper thin, flat, smooth and even color distribution.
