EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ramayana (Tales of Rama; The Freer Ramayana), Volume 2" a masterpiece from the Mughal dynasty dating back to 1597-1605. Created by Syama Sundara Ghulam 'Ali Kala Pahara Kamal, this Indian miniature depicts a scene filled with rich symbolism and intricate details. In this vibrant artwork, we see Hanuman, the monkey deity and loyal servant of Lord Rama, lifting an enormous rock. The beautifully colored ink opaque watercolor and gold on paper bring life to every element in the composition. The meticulous brushwork highlights each feather on the birds carrying delicate flowers in their claws while showcasing the lush foliage surrounding them. The artist's skillful portrayal of clothing and attire reflects the fashion trends prevalent during that era. This piece not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers valuable insights into historical clothing styles. "The Ramayana" is a significant religious text in Hinduism, narrating epic tales of gods, goddesses, and heroic figures like Lord Rama. Through its vivid imagery and profound storytelling, it has become an integral part of India's cultural heritage. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this photograph preserves a moment frozen in time—an exquisite blend of artistry and spirituality that continues to inspire viewers today.
