Varanasi – KITLV Leiden Collection

Description

Originally created by J.H.W. Le Clercq in 1847, Varanasi captures the timeless beauty of the sacred Ganges ghats. This 19th-century artwork, preserved in the KITLV Leiden collection, presents a vivid view of India’s spiritual heart—where temples, steps, and flowing waters merge into poetic harmony.

Our enhanced recreation restores the faded tones and refines the composition, revealing the architectural rhythm and serenity of Varanasi with renewed depth. It retains the historical authenticity of the original while lending it a contemporary visual clarity—perfect for those who appreciate heritage art reimagined for modern interiors.
