Jamini Roy (1887- 1972) was one of the most prominent painters from Bengal who made some sparkling ventures into a Post-Impressionist genre of landscapes and portraits. He came out of the traditional art practice and adapted his own style in 1925 which was inspired by the Kalighat Pot Paintings and terracotta of Vishnupur temple.
