EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Battle of Kurukshetra" from Mysore, India, created by the Indian School in the 19th century. Measuring 34.4x47 cm and currently held in a private collection, this artwork depicts a significant moment from Hindu mythology. In the scene, we witness Arjuna standing tall in his intricately adorned horse-drawn chariot, armed with his bow and quiver. He pays homage to Krishna, his charioteer who enlightened him about his duty to fight for righteousness. Accompanied by his loyal army, Arjuna fearlessly confronts the Kaurava forces. The artist's skillful use of gouache and gold on paper laid down on panel adds depth and richness to this masterpiece. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the majestic horses pulling the chariot to the divine presence of deities observing this epic battle unfold. "The Battle of Kurukshetra" is not only an artistic portrayal but also a representation of religious significance within Hinduism. It symbolizes bravery, devotion, and moral duty amidst adversity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this extraordinary artwork through their lens for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical value and cultural heritage. This photograph allows us to delve into South Asian history while immersing ourselves in the grandeur of ancient battles fought with valor and guided by divine intervention.
