EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kedar Ragini: Folio from a ragamala series (Garland of Musical Modes), ca. 1690-95" takes us back to the enchanting world of 17th-century India. The image showcases an ascetic, deeply immersed in his spiritual journey, as he listens attentively to a disciple playing the melodious rudra vina. The artist, Ruknuddin, skillfully captures the essence of this serene moment by using opaque watercolour and ink on paper. The vibrant green hues of the surrounding trees and plants create a tranquil atmosphere under the shimmering light of a crescent moon. This celestial element reminds us that music has always been intimately connected with nature and its rhythms. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are transported not only to a different time but also to an era where art seamlessly merged with science and religion. The intricate details in depicting both the ascetic's attire and musical instrument reflect Rajasthan's rich cultural heritage. Through this artwork, Ruknuddin invites us to appreciate the beauty found in simplicity – two individuals sharing their love for music amidst nature's embrace. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern lives, taking moments to immerse ourselves in art can provide solace and connection with something greater than ourselves. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph print allows us to cherish these timeless traditions while celebrating India's artistic legacy.
