Radha's Confidante Meets with Krishna (Arudhayauvana Madhya),
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning 17th century artwork from the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, specifically from the Malwa region. The painting is a folio from the Rasikapriya, or "The Connoisseur's Delights," a collection of poetic verses and illustrations celebrating the themes of love and devotion in Hinduism. The artwork depicts a young woman, Radha's confidante, dressed in a vibrant sari, standing beneath a tree in a lush, natural setting. She is jumping in delight as she meets with the blue-skinned deity, Krishna, who is depicted as a young man with animal-like features, including the ears of an elephant and the tail of a monkey. Krishna is shown wearing traditional Indian clothing, including a dhoti and a shawl. The scene is rendered in opaque watercolor on paper, with intricate details that bring the characters and their surroundings to life. The use of color is masterful, with the blue skin of Krishna contrasting beautifully with the green foliage and the warm tones of the woman's sari. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia and the enduring influence of Hinduism on Indian culture. This artwork is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the artistic traditions of the Indian subcontinent. The image of Radha's confidante and Krishna meeting in a natural setting is a common motif in Hindu art, reflecting the deep spiritual connection between the divine and the human, and the enduring power of love and devotion.
