EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The priest frees the monkey, snake and tiger from the well" showcases a stunning artwork by Ida Bagus Gelgel, created in 1935. The painting, made with natural pigments on paper, is housed in the Puri Lukisan Museum located in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. In this mesmerizing piece of art, Gelgel depicts a scene where a wise priest liberates three trapped creatures - a monkey, snake, and tiger - from an ominous well. The artist's skillful use of colors brings life to these mythical animals as they are released into freedom. The image portrays not only fantastical creatures but also reflects religious symbolism deeply rooted in Hinduism. The presence of the priest emphasizes themes of spirituality and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder of the power religion holds to overcome obstacles and set beings free. Gelgel's work captures the essence of traditional Balinese culture through its intricate details and vibrant imagery. The tree trunk backdrop adds depth to the composition while highlighting nature's connection to spirituality. "The priest frees the monkey, snake and tiger from the well" stands as an exceptional example of early 20th-century Asian art that continues to captivate viewers with its mythical allure and cultural significance.
