EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a page from the dispersed Shiva Mahatmya, also known as Great Tales of Shiva. Created around 1710 by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of art belongs to the 18th century era in India. The artwork is rich in color, featuring ink and opaque watercolor on paper. The image portrays a scene deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and religion. In the center sits Lord Shiva, one of the most revered deities in Hinduism, with multiple heads symbolizing his divine power. Surrounding him are men and women engrossed in devotion and reverence towards their god. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly within a temple or sacred space where devotees gather for worship. The green hues dominate the painting, creating a serene ambiance that complements the spiritual nature of the subject matter. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this page from Mewar region Rajasthan holds significant cultural heritage value. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Indian traditions and beliefs while showcasing exceptional artistic skill. Through this photo print, we are transported back to 18th-century Hindoostan (India), immersing ourselves in its religious fervor and celebrating its diverse artistic expressions.
