Tree Worship
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 18th century work of art, believed to have been created between the years 1730 and 1750. The unknown artist masterfully captures the essence of tree worship, a revered practice deeply rooted in Hinduism and other Asian religions. The scene unfolds beneath the shade of a magnificent tree, its branches laden with vibrant green leaves and adorned with intricate gold detailing. A group of boys and young men, dressed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper clothing typical of the 18th century, are depicted offering their respects to the tree. The boys wear colorful apparel, some in saris and others in traditional Indian clothing, while the men don simple tunics and turbans. The young women, dressed in bright saris, are seen in the background, their faces expressing a sense of awe and appreciation for the natural deity. The tree, believed to be a sacred symbol of life, fertility, and protection, is the center of attention. The boys and young men are seen touching the tree trunk, as if seeking blessings or communing with the divine. The tree's blue-skinned deity, possibly Krishna, is depicted sitting at the base of the tree, his arms outstretched in a welcoming gesture. This stunning watercolor on paper, originally from the continent of Asia, likely from the region of Rajasthan in India or Southeast Asia, is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection. The artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the past and the enduring connection between people and nature. The tree continues to stand as a symbol of life, growth, and spirituality, inspiring wonder and reverence in all who behold it.
