The day was created to honour artists from all walks of life—visual artists, musicians, dancers, writers, and performers. It serves to acknowledge the vital role artists play in shaping culture and society, and it encourages communities to engage with and support the arts. Famous Painters of India such as Raja Ravi Varma, Satish Gujaral, Jamini Roy, Nandlal Bose, Abanindranath Tagore and many more have historical and cultural significance in the Art and Culture of India. Their paintings hold an important place in Indian history. Giorgio Vasari has been variously called the father of art history, the inventor of artistic biography, and the author of “the Bible of the Italian Renaissance”—a little book called The Lives of the Artists.
