The Death of King Dasharatha - A Glimpse into 17th Century Indian Literature and Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a folio from the Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic. Created around 1605, it depicts the poignant scene of King Dasharatha's demise, the father of Rama. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and beautifully captures the essence of this literary masterpiece. In vibrant colors and intricate detail, we witness a sorrowful gathering at Dasharatha's sickbed. Courtiers and attendants surround him, their faces etched with grief as they bid farewell to their beloved monarch. The gold accents add a touch of regality to this somber moment. Amidst the crowd stands a disheveled man with messy hair, symbolizing the anguish that has befallen everyone present. On his face lies an expression filled with both sadness and acceptance for what fate has dealt them. The opaque watercolors used in this painting bring life to each character, highlighting their emotions in vivid strokes. This piece exemplifies India's rich heritage artistry and its ability to convey complex narratives through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness not only an important event within Hindu mythology but also gain insight into 17th-century courtly life in Hindoostan (India). It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and space, allowing us to connect with our cultural
