An early artist of the Bengal School, Jogesh Chander Seal today is known mostly for his oil paintings Disappointed (1919) and Lady Lighting a Diya (1921) that appeared at international auctions. His short life, which spanned thirty-one years, was closely associated with the values of the Bengal School of painting. Along with Hemendranath Majumdar and Atul Bose, Seal studied at the Jubilee Art Academy in Calcutta, an institution which was established in 1909 to depart from the aristic norms set by the GovernmentSchool of Art.

In search of new techniques and a visual language, Seal drew his inspiration from the indigenous source depicting, mostly, Bengali women figures. Though following the canons of academic realism, Seal rendered some of his figures in the format of Indian miniature paintings. As an outcome of Seal’s close association with

like-minded artists N. Majumdar, Jamini Roy, Bhabhani Charan Law and Atul Bose was the establishment, in 1919, of the Indian Academy of Fine Art in Calcutta. Seal’s paintings were appreciated during his lifetime and were collected by Sir Rajender Prasad Mukhopadhya and the King of Burdwan.
