Encounters in Mathura - Page from a Dispersed Bhagavata Purana. . . ca. 1700
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to ancient India, specifically to the city of Mathura during the 18th century. The image showcases a page from a dispersed Bhagavata Purana, an ancient collection of stories about Lord Vishnu. Created by an unknown artist, this artwork beautifully captures the nobility of Mathura as they witness Krishna and Balarama engaging in heroic deeds. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this scene to life. In the letterbox format, we see men and women gathered together, their expressions filled with awe and admiration for these divine figures. Krishna's charm radiates through his portrayal while Balarama stands tall beside him, exuding strength and power. The painting reflects not only religious devotion but also the rich cultural heritage of India. The use of ink and opaque watercolor on paper adds depth to each stroke, enhancing the overall composition. Located in Madhya Pradesh's Malwa region, Mathura holds great significance in Hinduism as it is believed to be Lord Krishna's birthplace. This panoramic view transports us into that sacred realm where heroism intertwines with spirituality. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical preservation. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the profound impact religion has had on society throughout centuries.
