EDITORS COMMENTS
"This stunning folio, dating between 1700 and 1725, showcases the Month of Ashadha (June-July) from a Barahmasa, or The Twelve Months, manuscript. The creator of this artwork remains unknown, but it is believed to originate from the Indian subcontinent, possibly from the region of Rajasthan in Northwest India or Southeast Asia. The artwork is a beautiful example of 18th-century Indian heritage art, featuring intricate opaque watercolor, gold and ink on paper. The scene is set in a lush garden, with a grand palace and pavilion in the background. The rooftops are adorned with ornate architecture, and a serene lotus pond lies in the foreground. The central focus of the painting is a group of people, including a young man and two women, who are gathered around a peacock. The young man is depicted with blue skin, indicating that he is the deity Krishna, a significant figure in Hinduism. Krishna is often associated with the month of Ashadha and is depicted with peacocks, which are believed to represent the god's power and beauty. The women in the painting are dressed in traditional Indian clothing and are adorned with jewelry and henna designs. They are shown in a relaxed and playful mood, adding to the overall sense of joy and celebration. The artwork also features various animals, including a group of men playing with a monkey, and a bird perched on a tree branch. The use of isometric perspective adds depth and dimension to the painting, making it a visually stunning and intriguing piece of art." This artwork is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India and the Indian subcontinent. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Indian art, Hinduism, or the history of the Indian subcontinent.
