EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the Ramayana, an ancient Hindu epic. Created by the Master of Style II of the 'Shangri' Ramayana in the late 17th century, this artwork is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of India. In this image, we see Rama and Lakshman, two central characters in the Ramayana, accompanied by the sage Vishvamitra. The boys stand barefoot on lush green grass under a majestic fig tree, symbolizing their connection with nature and spirituality. With bows and arrows in hand, they embody strength and courage as they prepare for war. The artist skillfully captures their profiles as they engage in prayer or conversation with Vishvamitra. Their gestures convey reverence towards both their mentor and their divine duty as warriors destined to protect righteousness. Rendered using opaque watercolor on paper, this Indian miniature painting exudes vibrant colors that bring life to every detail. It is housed within the prestigious Arthur M Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art—a sanctuary for art enthusiasts seeking cultural enlightenment. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites viewers into an exploration of ancient literature and religious beliefs. It stands as a testament to India's rich history while offering glimpses into its profound spiritual traditions.
