EDITORS COMMENTS
Sakuntala, a captivating watercolour and ink on paper painting by Danish artist Jens Lund, created in the year 1900. This exquisite work of art is currently housed in the Vejen Kunstmuseum's collection and is a stunning representation of the ancient Indian mythological tale of Shakuntala and her beloved King Dushyanta. The mythological story of Sakuntala, also known as Shakuntala, is derived from the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, written by the great Sage Vyasa. The tale revolves around the beautiful and chaste princess Sakuntala, who was abandoned by her husband, King Dushyanta, after she confronted him about the absence of a sacred vow he had made to her. Heartbroken and pregnant, Sakuntala sought the help of the sage Markandeya, who helped her reunite with her husband. Lund's painting masterfully captures the essence of this timeless tale, with Sakuntala depicted as a radiant and regal figure, seated in a serene and contemplative pose. Her expressive eyes convey a deep sense of longing and determination, while the delicate use of watercolour and ink on paper creates a dreamlike and ethereal quality to the image. Symbolism is abundant in this painting, with the lotus flower, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, adorning Sakuntala's hair and the background. The use of natural elements such as the lotus pond and the lush greenery further emphasizes the connection between nature and the human experience, a common theme in both Indian mythology and the Symbolist movement, of which Lund was a part. Overall, Lund's Sakuntala is a beautiful and evocative work of art that transports the viewer to a world of mythology, allegory, and timeless beauty. The painting is a testament to Lund's mastery of watercolour and ink techniques and his deep understanding of the rich and complex world of Indian mythology.
