EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kartikeya, 1800s" showcases the artistic brilliance of an unknown creator. In this depiction, Kartikeya, the revered god of war and son of Shiva and Parvati, emerges as a striking figure with a touch of audacity. The purpose behind his creation was to portray him in his mission to vanquish the formidable demon Taraka. What makes this artwork truly intriguing is its fusion of traditional themes with contemporary Bengali social norms prevalent during the 19th century. Kartikeya's portrayal as a dandy challenges conventional expectations by adorning him with a Prince Albert hairstyle and fashionable European buckled shoes. Draped gracefully in an intricately designed shawl, he sits majestically on his divine vehicle – the peacock. The artist ingeniously incorporates symbolism into this piece through the peacock's tail forming a radiant halo around Kartikeya. This celestial backdrop adds depth and spiritual significance to the composition while emphasizing his divine nature. Crafted using tin paint, black ink, watercolor, and graphite underdrawing on paper, this masterpiece hails from Calcutta in India. It now finds its home at The Cleveland Museum of Art where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has preserved this remarkable painting for generations to come. Its rich cultural heritage serves as a testament to India's artistic legacy while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both historical context and aesthetic beauty within
