Hanuman's Leap, 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment from the ancient Hindu epic poem, the Ramayana. In this print, we witness Hanuman, a revered deity in Hinduism and an ape-like forest-dweller known as a vanara, preparing to embark on a daring leap across the vast sea towards the island of Lanka. The scene unfolds during Hanuman's relentless quest to rescue Rama's wife, Sita, who was abducted by the demon-king Ravana. The monochrome image exudes an air of mystique and power as it transports us back to the 1920s when artist Amy Cruse immortalized this legendary tale in her book "The Book of Myths". With meticulous attention to detail, Cruse beautifully depicts Hanuman at his most heroic moment – poised with unwavering determination before taking flight. This artwork not only showcases Cruse's artistic prowess but also serves as a visual testament to the enduring significance of mythology and religion throughout history. As we gaze upon this iconic portrayal of Hanuman's leap into unknown territory, we are reminded of humanity's timeless fascination with legends that transcend time and culture. Through its depiction of divine intervention and selfless devotion in times of adversity, "Hanuman's Leap" continues to inspire generations with its profound message: that even against insurmountable odds, faith can empower individuals to overcome any obstacle in their path.
