Early lifeAngelo da Fonseca was born in St Estevam, Goa in 1902. He studied under Rabindranath Tagore in Kolkata. Fonseca was subsequently condemned and expelled from Goa by the Portuguese Colonial Government for his paintings; he had painted the Virgin Mary in a traditional Goan sari. His paintings have been displayed in major cities worldwide. Art studiesHe started out in medical studies at the Grant Medical College, Bombay, but soon left for J. J. School of Art. In 1930 he left the prestigious art school, as he felt it had too much of a European/English setting, and joined Shantiniketan in Kolkota where he was trained by his guru Rabindranath Tagore. Nandalal Bose was his teacher. Since he was a Christian, many of his paintings incorporate Christ and the Bible. He respected the Virgin Mary and painted her many times.
