About the piece

Created in 1913 by Dutch artist Marius Bauer, this oil painting captures the architectural grandeur and spiritual atmosphere of Benares. Bauer’s impressionistic technique uses a palette of sun-drenched ochres and soft shadows to evoke the heat and movement along the sacred riverfront.
