EDITORS COMMENTS
Scene with Bovines and Demons (verso) is a captivating folio from a Bhagavata Purana, an ancient Hindu scripture, dating between 1675 and 1700. The scene is believed to originate from the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, during the 1680s or 1690s. The intricately detailed drawing is executed in opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper. The composition is divided into two parts, with the verso side featuring a lively scene of bovines and demons engaged in combat. A group of men, possibly farmers or herdsmen, gather around the courtyard, observing the spectacle with a mix of awe and concern. The demons, depicted with multiple arms and fearsome features, attempt to subdue the powerful bulls, while the cattle, with their large, expressive eyes, seem to be defending themselves. The architectural backdrop of the scene adds to its grandeur, with intricately designed walls and ornate arches framing the action. The isometric perspective and the use of color and shade create a sense of depth and dimension, transporting the viewer to a distant time and place. The Bhagavata Purana is a significant text in Vaishnavism, a branch of Hinduism that reveres Lord Vishnu and his avatars. The scripture contains numerous legends and stories, many of which revolve around the divine intervention in the lives of ordinary people. This folio, with its vivid depiction of the battle between bovines and demons, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of South East Asia during the seventeenth century.
