Fritz Munich: Court Painter of the Indian Maharajas

Continuing the fascinating subject of India's Maharajas (refer to earlier post 'Beyond Extravagance'), I thought I'd share an interesting documentary with you called 'Munich in India'. 

MUNICH IN INDIA tells about the life of Fritz-Munich, the only German court painter of the Indian Maharajas. It is the story of an unknown but nevertheless extraordinary artist and his adventures. It tells about German and Indian history in the first half of the 20th century and simultaneously gets an insight into contemporary India.
