Anukul Charan Munshi or Anukul Chandra Munshi (Bengali: অনুকূল চরণ মুন্সী) (1875-1964) was an artist and sculptor from India. He is most remembered for his contributions in the field of Indian Mother-of-pearl art. Reportedly, he invented the artistic approach to carve nacre or mother-of-pearl shells to give a shape of a portrait or sculpture, thereby, is sometimes considered the 'Father of Indian Mother-of-pearl art'.[1][2] Some of his notable mother-of-pearl portraits are Maharaja of Jodhpur, Maharaja of Darbhanga etc., alongside his iconic mother-of-pearl sculpture of Radha-Krishna. He came into fame in 1924 when he won the gold medal in his category in the British Empire Exhibition held in London.[2][3] During his lifetime, he was invited by the then Government of Italy to permanently reside in Rome with his family as a part of his honour for his worldwide contributions in the mother-of-pearl artifacts. Besides, he was also an avid musician and animal lover.[3][4]
