EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Vol. 2 fol. 303 Yama advances to smite Ravana with the weapon of death" created by an Indian School in the 16th century. Measuring 27.5x15.2 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The painting depicts a scene from the Ramayana of Valmiki, a legendary Hindu epic poem. In this particular moment, Yama, a powerful god associated with death and justice, fearlessly confronts Ravana, a mythical demon king known for his malevolence. Executed using opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper by skilled Mughal artists during their dynasty's reign, this piece exemplifies their mastery over intricate details and vibrant colors. The composition transports viewers into a world filled with fantastical creatures and divine beings that are central to Hindu mythology. It beautifully captures the essence of religious devotion intertwined with poetic storytelling found within ancient Indian literature. Thanks to Charles Lang Freer's generous gift to the gallery, visitors can now appreciate this remarkable work as part of their cultural experience at The Freer Gallery of Art.
