EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning folio from the Bhagavata Purana, an ancient Hindu scripture, dates back to the 18th century and originates from the Indian subcontinent, specifically from the region of Rajasthan. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the Bhagavata Purana, where the deity Krishna, disguised as a cowherd, breaks the cart of the demon Shakatasura. Krishna, who is depicted in the center of the image, is shown standing naked, surrounded by a group of men and women. His muscular form is adorned with an orange hue, created by the use of opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper. The scene unfolds on a road, with the broken cart lying in the foreground and the panoramic view of the landscape in the background. Krishna, having successfully lured Shakatasura into a trap, breaks the cart's axle, causing it to collapse. The demon, taken aback by the sudden turn of events, is shown lying defeated and humiliated at the feet of Krishna. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Hinduism and the intricate details of its mythology. The use of color and the skillful application of watercolor techniques bring the story to life, transporting the viewer to another time and place. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or religious art and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and culture of India and Southeast Asia.
