Rama Chastising the Dying Vali
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating folio from a 16th century Ramayana, an epic poem originating from India that tells the story of Prince Rama and his adventures. This particular scene depicts a moment from the text where Rama, the prince and an incarnation of the god Vishnu, confronts his brother Vali, the king of Kishkindha, who is dying after being wounded in battle by Rama's brother Lakshmana. The image, created using opaque watercolor and gold and ink on paper, portrays Rama standing on a hillside surrounded by hills and a forest. Vali, a vanara (monkey-like being), lies dying at Rama's feet, with Lakshmana and other vanaras watching the scene unfold. Rama's expression is one of sorrow and compassion as he chastises Vali for his past transgressions and forgives him before his death. The intricate details of the drawing show the richness of the Hindu tradition and the skill of the unknown artist. The use of gold and color adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, transporting the viewer to the geographical feature of Kishkindha in Hinduism's ancient Indian kingdom. This artwork is a testament to the enduring influence of the Ramayana and the importance of its stories in Hinduism and South East Asian culture. The folio is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic heritage.
