EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century print depicts Bhairava, a powerful manifestation of the Hindu god Shiva. Bhairava, which translates to "terrible" or "fearful," is known for his fearsome appearance and his role as the guardian of cremation grounds and the lord of time. This artwork originated in Nepal and was created using opaque watercolor and ink on paper. The intricate details of Bhairava's multiple faces and arms, each with its unique expression and attribute, are beautifully rendered. His piercing gaze and fierce posture exude a sense of raw power and intensity. Bhairava is often depicted with a garland of human heads, symbolizing his role as the destroyer of ignorance and the embodiment of the destructive aspect of Shiva. The print also includes various symbols associated with Bhairava, such as the trident, drum, and skull cup. The 17th century was a period of great artistic development in Nepal, and this print is a testament to the exceptional skill and creativity of Nepalese artists during that time. It is a valuable addition to the South and Southeast Asian art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Nepal and the Hindu tradition. This artwork is not only a religious artifact but also a work of art that showcases the intricacy, beauty, and symbolism of Hindu iconography. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of Hinduism and the enduring power of its deities, particularly Bhairava, who continues to be revered and worshipped by millions around the world.
