EDITORS COMMENTS
This folio depicts the legendary moment from the Bhagavata Purana when Krishna, the deity of love and preservation, vanquishes the demon Trinavarta, represented as a deadly tornado. The image dates back to the 17th century, between 1625 and 1650, and is believed to have originated from the Indian region of Gujarat, in the cultural sphere of Vaishnavism. The anonymous artist masterfully employs opaque watercolor and gold on paper to bring this mythological tale to life. Krishna, dressed in a vibrant yellow dhoti and a red and gold choli, stands at the center of the scene, his muscular form radiating power and serenity. Surrounded by a group of men, who appear to be either his devotees or the defeated demon's allies, Krishna raises his arms, ready to unleash his divine powers. The tornado demon, depicted as a swirling mass of grey and black, reaches out to envelop Krishna, but the deity remains unperturbed. With a calm expression, he focuses his energy, and the whirlwind is tamed, its power dissipating as it is absorbed by Krishna's divine aura. This artwork, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient India and Southeast Asia, is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection. It offers a glimpse into the intricate world of Hindu mythology, where gods and demons engage in epic battles, and the line between good and evil is blurred. The folio's intricate details and bold use of color and gold serve as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to other worlds and inspire awe and wonder.
