EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marianne Stokes' exquisite artwork titled "Devaki, Mother of Krishna". Painted in tempera and gold on paper laid on board, this masterpiece measures 70.5x50.8 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts Devaki, the mother of Lord Krishna, in a serene lotus position surrounded by symbolic elements of Hinduism. The artist's attention to detail is evident as she portrays Devaki with utmost maternal grace and devotion. Her gentle presence is accentuated by the golden halo that surrounds her head. Intriguingly, Stokes incorporates various animals into the composition to further convey the divine nature of this scene. A stork gracefully stands beside Devaki, symbolizing purity and fertility. A heron can be seen nearby, representing patience and wisdom. Additionally, an elephant—a revered animal in Hindu culture—stands majestically behind Devaki as a symbol of strength. The painting also includes subtle references to childhood innocence through the inclusion of a young boy playing with a rabbit nearby. This serves as a reminder that even deities like Krishna were once playful children themselves. Overall, Stokes' portrayal captures both the sacredness and tenderness associated with motherhood within Hinduism while showcasing her exceptional artistic skill. This piece stands as an homage to one of India's most beloved deities and celebrates the eternal bond between mother and child.
