EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala with the Dream Diviners" from a Kalpa-sutra, dating back to around 1475-1500. The upper register of the painting portrays King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala, who are revered as the parents of Mahavira, the esteemed founder of Jainism. In this regal depiction, they sit majestically, exuding grace and authority. The lower register introduces us to two wise men adorned with beards, known as Dream Diviners. These learned individuals possess deep knowledge in interpreting dreams. One diligently writes down their insights using a pen while the other consults an ancient scroll for further guidance. It is through their expertise that they reveal a momentous prophecy related to Queen Trishala's auspicious dreams. According to these skilled interpreters, her visions foretell the birth of a son who will shape history either as a mighty hero and ruler or as an influential religious leader on a global scale. This revelation adds an air of anticipation and mystery to this remarkable artwork. Crafted using ink and opaque watercolor on paper by unknown artists from Western India's Gujarat region, this masterpiece now resides at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully reproduced this image in collaboration with them, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
