EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable scene from the epic Hindu tale, the Ramayana. Titled "Rama chasing the Golden Deer" this 17th-century artwork by Mughal School depicts a pivotal moment in the story. Measuring 28.5x18.5 cm, it is currently housed at the National Museum of India in New Delhi. In this image, we witness Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu and revered as a deity, embarking on an intense hunt through a lush forest. Armed with his bow and arrow, he relentlessly pursues a magnificent golden deer that has captured his attention. Little does Rama know that this seemingly innocent creature is actually an illusion created by demons to deceive him. As fate would have it, Rama eventually manages to slay the deer with his precise aim. However, as its life fades away, an unexpected twist occurs - a fearsome demon emerges from its body! This dramatic turn of events adds depth and intrigue to this ancient narrative. The artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captures both the beauty of nature and the intensity of Rama's pursuit. The Sanskrit text inscribed on its reverse further enhances our understanding of this iconic scene. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, "Rama chasing the Golden Deer" continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. It serves as a testament to Indian artistry and mythology while reminding us of humanity's eternal struggle against temptation and deception in our own lives.
