EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the Ramayana, created by the Central Indian School in the 17th-18th century. The artwork, measuring 18.4x29.2 cm, is housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The painting depicts Lakshmana at a hermitage, immersed in serene surroundings and adorned with vibrant opaque watercolors on paper. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring to life this moment from one of India's most beloved epics. Lakshmana, a prominent character in the Ramayana, is shown here amidst lush greenery and tranquil waters. His contemplative gaze suggests deep introspection as he seeks solace and spiritual enlightenment within nature's embrace. The overall composition measures 21.6x32.1 cm and was created between 1690-1710 during an era when art flourished under royal patronage across India. This remarkable piece was acquired by the Freer Gallery through purchase and partial gift from the Catherine and Ralph Benkaim Collection, with support from Friends of the Freer and Sackler Galleries. As we admire this exquisite work of art captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a world where mythology intertwines with beauty, inviting us to delve into ancient tales that continue to inspire generations worldwide.
