EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Parvati Placing Wedding Garland on Shiva" from 19th century India. Created in Calcutta, this Kalighat painting depicts a significant moment in Hindu mythology with intricate details and vibrant colors. In the image, we see Parvati, the goddess of love and fertility, delicately placing a wedding garland around the neck of Shiva, the supreme deity known as the destroyer and transformer. The artist skillfully captures their divine connection through expressive brushstrokes and meticulous use of black ink, color, silver paint, and graphite underdrawing on paper. The secondary support measures 48.2 x 29.6 cm (19 x 11 5/8 in. ), while the painting itself is sized at 45.6 x 28 cm (17 15/16 x 11 in. ). This artwork exemplifies the unique style of Kalighat paintings that emerged during the late colonial period in Bengal. With its rich cultural significance and artistic excellence, this print serves as a window into Indian history and mythology. It invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insights into ancient traditions surrounding marriage rituals and devotion to deities. As part of Liszt Collection's diverse range of prints celebrating world artistry, this photograph offers an opportunity for individuals to bring home a piece of India's artistic heritage while appreciating its historical context.
