EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a significant moment from the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. In this scene, Lakshmana and Sugriva, two important characters in the story, are being carried on a palanquin to receive blessings from Lord Rama. The folio is part of the dispersed Mankot Ramayana series dating back to around 1710-25. The image showcases an array of colors that bring life to the painting. The lush green background represents nature's beauty as well as symbolizes growth and harmony. Hanuman, a revered deity in Hindu mythology, can be seen accompanying Lakshmana and Sugriva along with Jambavan, the bear king. The composition highlights both human and animal figures coming together for a common purpose - seeking divine intervention. This portrayal emphasizes unity and cooperation across species boundaries. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink and opaque watercolor on paper used by the unknown artist who created this masterpiece during India's eighteenth century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses this remarkable piece that reflects India's rich cultural heritage. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported into another world filled with devotion, spirituality, and adventure. It serves as a reminder of how literature has shaped our understanding of religion while also celebrating art's ability to transcend time and connect people across centuries.
