EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the illustrious Ramayana series, dating back to approximately 1780. The artwork depicts Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana at the serene Hermitage of Bharadvaja in Hindoostan (present-day India). In this vibrant illustration, we witness the divine trio amidst an enchanting landscape. Rama stands tall and majestic, exuding his godly aura while adorned with a tiger skin as a symbol of his power. Sita radiates grace and beauty beside him, embodying her role as the goddess she is revered as. Lakshmana faithfully accompanies them both. The hermitage itself is nestled within nature's embrace - lush trees and verdant plants surround its humble hut. A river flows nearby, offering tranquil waters for transportation via ferry boat seen in the distance. As they meet with a holy man residing in this sacred abode, fire flickers nearby signifying spiritual rituals taking place. This harmonious encounter between divinity and humanity exemplifies the essence of Hinduism. Rendered using opaque watercolor and ink on paper by an unknown artist from Kangra school of artistry during the 18th century, this Indian miniature painting captures not only religious devotion but also artistic brilliance. Now preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this heritage artwork continues to inspire awe with its vivid colors and meticulous details. It serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage that has captivated generations through
