EDITORS COMMENTS
Babhruvahana Kills Animals to Save Syamakarna" is a captivating folio from a 19th century Mahabharata manuscript, originating from India or Maharashtra. The scene depicted in this image is one of the many episodes from the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata. In this illustration, Babhruvahana, a powerful and skilled warrior, is shown aiming his bow and arrow at a tiger that is about to attack Syamakarna, a young prince. Syamakarna is shown lying on the ground, surrounded by other animals that are charging towards him. Babhruvahana, with a determined expression on his face, is focused on saving the prince's life. The scene is beautifully rendered in opaque watercolor on paper, with intricate details that bring the jungle setting to life. The use of color and shading adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning example of 19th century Indian art. The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Ramayana. It is a vast and complex work of literature that explores themes of duty, morality, and the human condition. The story of Babhruvahana and Syamakarna is just one of the many tales that make up this rich and fascinating epic. This folio is a testament to the enduring power of Indian mythology and the artistic traditions that have preserved and celebrated it for centuries. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it can be appreciated by scholars, art lovers, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia and India.
