EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts a scene from the Vessantara Jataka, Chapter 3 (The Gift). In this story, Prince Vessantara, along with his wife Maddi and their two children, are exiled from their kingdom and journey into the forest. As they travel in an ornamented chariot, they encounter some brahmins who request the horses and chariot as a gift. Displaying unwavering generosity, Vessantara grants their wish and pours water into the hands of the brahmin as he accepts the chariot. The family then continues their journey on foot. This exquisite artwork showcases the rich cultural heritage of Asia during the 1850s and 1860s. The intricately decorated chariot, gilded with gold and adorned with jali work, adds to the regal atmosphere of the scene. The vibrant colors and pigments used on the cloth bring the image to life, transporting us back in time. The four figures, dressed in traditional clothing, are depicted in an outdoor setting, surrounded by lush greenery and a clear blue sky. The Vessantara Jataka is a popular Buddhist and Hindu story, originating from Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like Thailand and Sri Lanka. The tale emphasizes the importance of generosity, selflessness, and the bonds of family. This stunning print is a testament to the artistic traditions of the time and serves as a reminder of the enduring values of the human spirit.
