The Bengal School of Art was an art movement and a style of Indian painting that originated in Bengal, primarily Kolkata and Shantiniketan, and flourished throughout the Indian subcontinent, during the British Raj in the early 20th century. Also known as 'Indian style of painting' in its early days, it was associated with Indian nationalism (Swadeshi Movement) and led by Abanindranath Tagore. It was also promoted and supported by British arts administrators like E. B. Havell, the principal of the Government College of Art, Kolkata. Eventually it led to the development of the modern Indian painting.
