EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the Bhagavata Purana, dating back to the late 17th century. Titled "Krishna steals the clothes of the gopis" it depicts a mischievous scene filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. The artwork, created using opaque watercolor and gold on paper, is a testament to the rich heritage of Indian miniature painting. In this enchanting image, Krishna, an important deity in Hinduism, playfully hides among bushes as he steals the clothes of female cowherds known as gopis. With his hand gestures and pleading expression, Krishna adds an element of humor to this ancient tale. The golden hues and delicate brushwork bring life to every leaf on the kadamba tree that stands tall in the background. The setting takes us to Hindoostan (India), where agriculture thrived alongside river estuaries. The presence of cows symbolizes farming practices integral to rural life during that era. As we observe this scene at dawn, nature awakens with its serene beauty. Displayed at renowned art galleries such as Arthur M Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery of Art, this piece represents not only religious significance but also artistic excellence. It serves as an educational tool for those seeking knowledge about Indian history and culture. This print captures a moment frozen in time - one that celebrates both spirituality and artistic brilliance within India's rich tapestry of traditions.
