EDITORS COMMENTS
This folio, hailing from the 1660s, is a stunning example of the Amaru-Sataka, also known as The Hundred Stanzas of Amaru, an influential collection of poetry from the 17th century in South East Asia. The image, titled "Return of the Errant Lover," depicts a man and a young woman, possibly representing the errant lover and his beloved, standing on the rooftop of a magnificent palace. The architecture is a harmonious blend of isometric and architectural styles, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Hindustan, now India. The couple is bathed in a warm, opaque watercolor, with intricate gold and ink details adding depth and texture to the artwork. The man, dressed in traditional attire, is shown with a hopeful expression, while the young woman, adorned in red, waits with a calm and composed demeanor. Two peacocks, symbols of beauty and rebirth, gracefully perch on the palace walls, adding to the poetic allure of the scene. The Amaru-Sataka is a testament to the literary and artistic achievements of the 17th century in Asia. This folio, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the world of ancient poetry and the deep-rooted traditions of love and longing that transcend time and place.
