EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from the late 19th century showcases the enigmatic figure of Sri Sri Rai Raja, a deity whose origins and creator remain unknown. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this mesmerizing portrayal of Hinduism's revered god or goddess. The central focus of the image is on Sri Sri Rai Raja, depicted in regal attire adorned with golden hues that exude an aura of divinity. A hexagonal throne serves as their majestic seat, while a curtain drapes gracefully behind them, adding an air of mystery to their presence. Surrounding the divine figure are various accessories symbolizing power and spirituality. Hand-held fans made from peacock feathers gently sway in the hands of both men and women, signifying elegance and grace. An intricately designed parasol shields Sri Sri Rai Raja from above, further emphasizing their elevated status. The artist skillfully captures elements of Indian culture within this lithographic masterpiece. Traditional clothing worn by individuals present reflects the rich heritage art prevalent during that era. The use of watercolor and gum arabic techniques adds depth to each stroke, enhancing its overall visual impact. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this remarkable artwork invites viewers into a world where religion intertwines with artistic expression. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - an homage to faith and devotion captured through the lens of an anonymous creator.
