EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio from a Ragamala, or Garland of Melodies, dates back to the late 17th century and originates from the Indian subcontinent, specifically from the region of Rajasthan. The Ragamala series is a popular form of Indian classical music and art, where each raga, or melody, is depicted through a series of paintings. This particular folio showcases the Hindola Raga, which is believed to evoke feelings of the rainy season. The painting is executed in opaque watercolor and ink on paper and features a richly decorated palace interior, where a couple, dressed in colorful clothing of the seventeenth century, are seated on a raised platform. The male figure, possibly a lord or a nobleman, wears a long, flowing robe, while the female consort is adorned in a beautiful red sari and ornate jewelry. Two attendants, one male and one female, stand at the sides, holding flowers and offering a garland to the couple. The architecture and furniture in the painting are intricately detailed, with isometric perspectives and ornate designs. The overall atmosphere is serene and peaceful, with nature elements such as flowers and plants adding to the sense of tranquility. The painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia and the beauty of Indian art during the seventeenth century. This folio from the Ragamala series is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a reminder of the artistic achievements of the past and the enduring influence of Indian art on global culture.
