EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the Ramayana, dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century. The image depicts Lakshmana at the hermitage, offering us a glimpse into ancient Indian literature and religious traditions. In this vibrant artwork created with opaque watercolor on paper, we are transported to a serene country setting. Lakshmana, one of the key disciples in Hindu mythology, stands near an ashram doorway alongside other devotees. His hand gestures and profile suggest deep contemplation as he engages in spiritual practices. The painting beautifully captures his devotion to Rama, the deity who is central to the epic Ramayana. The scene is enriched by various elements that symbolize divine presence and cultural heritage. A cow and water buffalo peacefully graze nearby while a majestic tiger roams freely through this idyllic landscape. The lingam and yoni symbols represent fertility and creation within Hinduism. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this Indian miniature exemplifies exquisite artistry from Mogul (Mughal) times. Its vivid colors bring life to every detail - from flowing robes to intricate patterns adorning buildings. As we admire this masterpiece captured by an unknown artist centuries ago, we are reminded of India's rich artistic legacy and its enduring influence on world culture.
