37 MASTERPIECES & MUSEUM-QUALITY III “ Gangooly won fame for his atmospheric paintings of natural scenery, the spectacular Himalayan mountain ranges and the series on the river Ganges in different moods. The works show a sensitive grasp of the drama, the variety of natural light and the rich colours of the Indian landscape. Above all, they reveal the dedicated craftsman that he was.” (Partha Mitter, rpt. in Art and Nationalism in Colonial India 1850- 1922: Occidental Orientations, 1994; p.111.)
