Radha and Krishna Exchange Clothes, c1800
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art from the 19th century, hailing from the Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh, India. The painting, created in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, showcases the playful and flirtatious moment between the beloved Hindu deities, Radha and Krishna. Radha, depicted as a woman in a vibrant red sari, gazes at Krishna with a mischievous smile, while he, with his characteristic blue skin, wears a yellow dress and ornaments, traditionally associated with the feminine. The exchange of clothes signifies the deep bond and love between the two, as well as the concept of role reversal in their relationship. The painting is set in a lush forest, with the couple standing in a full-length pose, holding hands and making eye contact. The use of rich colors and intricate gold detailing adds to the allure and grandeur of the artwork. This piece is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic traditions of Hinduism in South East Asia and India during the 19th century. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from all around the world. The painting's mysterious origins remain unknown, adding to its allure and intrigue. It serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty and philosophy of this ancient tradition, which continues to be an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Radha and Krishna's Exchange Clothes, c1800, is a masterpiece that transcends time and continues to captivate viewers with its enchanting depiction of love, playfulness, and the blurring of gender roles in Hindu mythology.
