Explanation

Abanindranath Tagore, Abdur Rahman Chaghatai, and Nandalal Bose were all prominent figures in the Bengal School of Art, a movement that sought to revive indigenous Indian painting traditions [3]. Abanindranath Tagore is considered the father of the Bengal School, known for breaking Victorian naturalism and creating the iconic 'Bharat Mata' [4]. Nandalal Bose, his pupil, was a maestro who designed the Haripura posters and illustrated the Indian Constitution [3]. Abdur Rahman Chaghatai (M.A.R. Chughtai) was also a significant painter associated with this school, blending Mughal miniature styles with modern aesthetics [2]. In contrast, Satish Chandra Mukherjee was a renowned educationist and a key figure in the national education movement in Bengal. He founded the Dawn Society to promote indigenous education and was not primarily associated with the art of painting.
