EDITORS COMMENTS
Rawat Gokul Das Inspects a Trapped Tiger, 1810-1815: A Captivating Encounter with the Royal Hunter". This print captures an intriguing moment in history as Rawat Gokul Das, the ruler of Devgarh from 1786 to 1821, inspects a trapped tiger. Created by the Indian School in the early 19th century, this gouache on paper artwork measures 55.7x40.4 cm and is housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The scene depicts a royal hunting ground in Devgarh, Rajasthan, where Gokul Das displays his prowess as a skilled hunter and military leader. Standing alongside him is Chokha, another notable figure from that era (1799 - c. 1826). The painting showcases their regal attire and courtiers surrounding them. Intricately painted details bring this encounter to life – from the tawny fur of the majestic Bengal tiger to the array of weapons displayed by soldiers nearby. Arrows are strategically set up as part of an ambush or trap for this powerful feline predator. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only a thrilling hunt but also glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage and royal traditions. The landscape serves as a stunning backdrop for this dramatic scene – lush greenery contrasting against vibrant hues used throughout. This remarkable piece invites us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance while reminding us of humanity's complex relationship with nature and wildlife.
