Alike the exotic beaches, magnificent architecture and sculptures, spectacular sightseeing, easy-going lifestyle, and so forth, the paintings of Goa are also renowned among people across the globe. The rich paintings and carvings on the ceiling, pillars and walls of the structures, especially the churches are worth the watch. A perfect amalgamation of Indian and European style of art enhances the beauty of the paintings of Goa. During the foundation of the churches the artists residing in Goa were engrossed in the experimentation of all sorts of painting styles in their work. Most of the paintings of Goa talk about the historical backdrop and Indo-Portuguese culture and display pictures of saints, Jesus, scenes from the bible and St. Francis Xavier’s life and so forth.
