The Swooning of Lakshmana
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating folio from the 18th century Ramayana, or "Adventures of Rama," an epic poem from ancient India. The scene depicted in this exquisite work of art is taken from the Yuddha Kanda, the sixth and final book of the Ramayana, which recounts the epic battle between Rama and the demon king Ravana. In this image, Lakshmana, Rama's devoted brother, is shown collapsing in despair and grief as he watches his brother being taken away by the demon king's soldiers. The scene is set on a hilltop, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills and trees. The use of opaque watercolor and gold on paper gives the image a rich and vibrant quality, with the colors of pink, red, and yellow dominating the scene. Lakshmana's wound is visible on his chest, a stark reminder of the violence and turmoil that has unfolded. The image is imbued with a sense of deep emotion and pathos, as Lakshmana's men look on in concern and despair. The use of plants and trees in the background adds to the sense of nature's beauty and tranquility, contrasting with the chaos and turmoil of the scene. The Ramayana is a seminal work of Hindu literature and has had a profound influence on Indian culture and religion. This folio, created in the 1770s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and South East Asia. The image is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic and cultural heritage.
