EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the Mughal School's painting titled "Rama Trying to Justify to Sita his Repudiation of her". Created around 1595, this watercolor on paper artwork measures 15.4x13.3 cm and is now part of a private collection. In this scene, we witness Rama, a central figure in Hindu literature, attempting to explain his decision to repudiate Sita to her. The composition showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of Mughal art. Both characters are seated facing each other, their postures reflecting the weight of their relationship difficulties. The artist skillfully portrays the emotional turmoil through subtle hand gestures and facial expressions. Sita's rejection is evident as she sits rejected and unwanted while Rama justifies his actions with an explanation that remains unheard by us viewers. The painting draws inspiration from the epic Ramayana, an important religious text in Hinduism. It delves into themes such as love, duty, sacrifice, and loyalty within relationships. This late sixteenth-century artwork exemplifies Islamic influences on Indian art during that period with its patterned design elements reminiscent of Islamic art traditions. Overall, this illustration beautifully encapsulates a significant moment in Hindu mythology while showcasing the artistic prowess of both Mughal School painters and Bridgeman Images' ability to preserve these timeless masterpieces for future generations to appreciate.
