"Pallas Athena: The Armoured Figure of Wisdom" In the realm of ancient mythology, Pallas Athena stands tall as the goddess of wisdom. With her majestic presence captured in the mesmerizing oil on canvas painting from 1664-65, she embodies intellect and strategic prowess. Adorned in armor that symbolizes her strength and resilience, she is a formidable force to be reckoned with. Dhumavati and Matangi, mysterious figures from 1885-90 whose creator remains unknown, also embody aspects of wisdom. Their enigmatic aura hints at hidden knowledge waiting to be discovered by those who seek it. They remind us that wisdom can often be found where we least expect it. Shri Shri Durga, created around 1885-95 by an unknown artist, showcases another facet of divine wisdom. As a powerful goddess associated with protection and courage, she exemplifies the importance of using knowledge wisely for the greater good. Minerva, known as the Roman counterpart to Athena and revered as the goddess of wisdom herself, has been depicted throughout history as an allegory guiding young minds towards enlightenment. Johann Friedrich Greuter's masterpiece from 1620-47 portrays Minerva leading a young man towards Mount Parnassus—a symbolic journey towards intellectual growth. The tale of Perseus cutting off Medusa's head in a stunning engraving from 1731 represents not only bravery but also cunning intelligence. It reminds us that true wisdom lies not just in knowledge but also in knowing how to apply it effectively. Sarasvati emerges gracefully through time with two depictions—one from 1878/80 and another dating back to the Pala period (10th/12th century). This Hindu goddess personifies artistry and learning while inspiring devotees to embrace creativity alongside their pursuit of knowledge. God Vishnu accompanied by Goddesses Lakshmi and Sarasvati reveals yet another dimension of wisdom.
