EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio illustrating The Poet's Prayer to Krishna, also known as the Satsaiya of Biharilal, dates back to the 1710s and showcases the rich artistic heritage of India during the 18th century. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its mystique and allure. The illustration depicts a group of men and women, possibly poets, seated in a courtyard, engaged in the act of writing. At the center, a young man, believed to be Biharilal, is shown in deep devotion, reciting his prayer to the deity Krishna. Krishna, the beloved god of Hinduism, is depicted in his divine form, seated on a grand throne, with his consort Radha by his side. Surrounded by opulent architecture and lush greenery, the scene is a visual feast of color and intricate detail. The illustration is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, adding to the richness and grandeur of the composition. The Satsaiya of Biharilal is a collection of 700 verses, written in the Hindi language, expressing the poet's deep devotion and longing for Krishna. This folio illustration is a visual representation of the poet's prayer, capturing the essence of Hinduism and the poetic traditions of India during the 18th century. This stunning work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South East Asia and is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or religious art. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this artistic tradition.
