EDITORS COMMENTS
Lalit Ragini: Folio from a ragamala series (Garland of Musical Modes), ca. 1680-90, captures the essence of love and music in 17th century India. This exquisite artwork, created with ink and opaque watercolor on paper, showcases the rich heritage art of Hindoostan. In this scene, we find ourselves transported to a serene bedchamber at dawn. A dome-shaped room envelops two lovers who have just awakened from their slumber. The man and woman lie peacefully side by side, still immersed in the realm of dreams. The artist skillfully portrays the tender emotions shared between these individuals through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. Their expressions reveal traces of fatigue as they slowly awaken to embrace a new day together. As sunlight filters through intricately designed windows, it illuminates the room's script-covered walls – perhaps verses from Hindi poetry or lyrics from melodious ragas that echo within these sacred walls. This mesmerizing painting not only celebrates the beauty of Indian classical music but also serves as a testament to enduring love stories throughout time. It reminds us that even amidst our busy lives, there is solace in finding moments of tranquility with our beloved ones. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this remarkable piece invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless charm and appreciate the profound connection between music, love, and artistic expression.
