EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Dhanashri Ragini, First Wife of Dipak Raga - A Ragamala Folio from the 18th Century, South East Asia This exquisite 3D folio, hailing from the 18th century, showcases the enchanting portrait of Dhanashri Ragini, the first wife of the renowned musician Dipak Raga. The folio is an exceptional example of a Ragamala painting, originating from the rich artistic heritage of India, specifically from the region of Madhya Pradesh. The painting is rendered in opaque watercolor, gold, and ink on paper, creating a stunning contrast between the vibrant colors and the intricate gold accents. The setting is an indoor, autumnal scene, with the warm hues of pink and gold dominating the composition. The architecture in the background is reminiscent of a palace, further emphasizing the regal status of the subjects. Seated gracefully, Dhanashri Ragini is adorned in traditional attire, her face expressing a serene and contemplative mood. She is accompanied by her husband, Dipak Raga, who is depicted in a thoughtful pose, playing his musical instrument. The couple is surrounded by a bouquet of roses, symbolizing the beauty and ephemerality of life. The Ragamala paintings were a popular art form in India during the 16th to 19th centuries, with each painting representing a specific raga (melodic mode) and its associated mood or emotion. This folio is a testament to the artistic mastery and cultural significance of this tradition, which continues to captivate audiences and scholars alike. This magnificent work of art is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of India and South East Asia.
