EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio from the Bhagavata Purana, an ancient Hindu scripture, depicts the heartwarming tale of Sudama, a humble friend of Lord Krishna. Dated between 1550 and 1575, this opaque watercolor and ink on paper artwork originated in South East Asia, likely in the region of Hindustan. Sudama, a poor man, is shown in the image, offering a garland of cereal flowers to Krishna, his beloved friend and deity. The scene takes place in a natural setting, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers surrounding the two figures. The contrast between the blue-skinned Krishna and the earthy tones of Sudama's skin adds to the richness of the composition. The Bhagavata Purana is a significant text in Vaishnavism, a branch of Hinduism that focuses on the worship of the god Vishnu and his various incarnations, including Krishna. This artwork is a testament to the deep reverence and affection held for the deity in Hindu culture. The image is a precious addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, providing a glimpse into the artistic and religious heritage of ancient India and South East Asia. The friendship between Sudama and Krishna, immortalized in this beautiful artwork, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, transcending time and cultural boundaries.
