[edit] Theodore Jenson and Ramaswamy Naidu

Theodore Jenson did not coach Ravi varma to Paint. In fact when requested then by the King Ayilyam Thirunal, he politely refused to transfer his trade secrets. But to Ravi varma's fortune Jenson allowed him to watch him paint and mix colours....In fact Arumugham Pillai, a Disciple of the court painter Ramaswamy Naidu, coached ravi varma in the nights without the consent of his guru( In fact Rama swamy Naidu refused to teach Raja Ravi Varma).... Ref in a book in Malayalam published by Government of Kerala, (ravi varmayum Chithrakalayum by, Kilimanur Chandran).activevoid (talk) 11:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
