Bamapada Banerjee received his initial training in painting at the Calcutta Art School. However, disillusioned with its pedagogy, he left Art School and began training with Pramathalal Mitra. Later, he worked as an apprentice to the German painter Karl Becker, who was then living in Calcutta. Banerjee's popularity rested on his paintings that frequently illustrated Hindu mythology. He was deeply influenced by the European style of painting and excelled in it. Hence, he painted Indian and Hindu mythology in the European style, creating a great demand for his paintings. Though a junior contemporary of Raja Ravi Varma, the most influential artist of the time, Banerjee evolved an individual style and dominated the popular taste for decades through reproductions of his works, most of which were printed in Germany.
