EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Krishna's Fifth and Sixth Avatars" from a late 17th-century copy of the Gitagovinda by Jayadeva. The painting, created using opaque watercolor and gold on paper, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia. In this masterpiece, Krishna, the Hindu deity, is depicted in his fifth and sixth avatars. He stands majestically on a golden throne, adorned with intricate details that highlight his divine nature. With multiple limbs and arms holding various tools and weapons like an axe, Krishna appears ready for battle. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the fight as Krishna engages in combat against unseen adversaries. His blue complexion radiates with power as he embodies both strength and grace. The use of vibrant colors such as yellow and gold adds depth to this mesmerizing portrait. Beyond its visual appeal, this artwork also reflects India's literary tradition. The Gitagovinda is a renowned poem written by Jayadeva that celebrates Krishna's love for Radha through lyrical verses. This painting brings these poetic verses to life through its detailed portrayal of Krishna's avatars. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, this piece serves as a reminder of India's rich cultural heritage while showcasing the immense talent possessed by unknown artists from centuries past.
