EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of the Indian School in the 16th century. Titled "Vol. 2 fol. 277 Sita undergoes the ordeal by fire in order to prove her virtue" this piece is a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. Measuring at 27.5x15.2 cm, this opaque watercolour, ink, and gold on paper composition can be found at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. It belongs to "The Freer Ramayana" an adaptation of Valmiki's epic poem Ramayana during the Mughal dynasty. The image depicts a pivotal moment from Hindu mythology where Sita, a goddess-like figure, subjects herself to a trial by fire as proof of her purity and loyalty. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to this ancient tale. With elements such as fantastic animals and divine beings intertwined with human characters, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Hinduism's rich mythological traditions. Donated by Charles Lang Freer himself, this masterpiece holds immense historical value and serves as a window into India's literary heritage. Its presence within the gallery reminds us of how art transcends time and space while preserving stories that have shaped cultures for centuries. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance in their print reproduction without compromising its originality or commercial use restrictions – allowing viewers worldwide to appreciate its beauty without stepping foot inside a museum.
