Krishna under a canopy, c. 1680. Creator: Unknown
Krishna under a canopy, c. 1680. This tranquil, languid scene on a white marble, carpeted terrace depicts the god Krishna in the place of an earthly prince. A female attendant at the left fans him, while he and another lady each hold a rose. The open doorway in the background with the rolled-up curtain above suggests the intimacy of an imminent encounter inside. Paintings such as this substitute the incarnated divinity for the hero of a romance, who in turn substitutes for the princely patron

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Krishna under a canopy, c. 1680" transports viewers to a serene and ethereal world. The scene unfolds on a white marble terrace adorned with an exquisite carpet, setting the stage for an otherworldly encounter. In this depiction, the god Krishna assumes the role of an earthly prince, surrounded by opulence and beauty. To his left stands a female attendant gracefully fanning him, while he and another lady delicately hold roses in their hands. Their gestures exude elegance and refinement, capturing the essence of divine love and romance. Through the open doorway in the background, we catch a glimpse of a rolled-up curtain that hints at an intimate rendezvous awaiting inside. This painting belongs to a tradition where divinity takes center stage as the protagonist of romantic tales. Here, Krishna replaces mortal heroes as he captivates our imagination with his charm and grace. Created using gum tempera and gold on paper by an unknown artist from Northwestern India's Rajput kingdom of Raghogarh, this masterpiece now resides in The Cleveland Museum of Art. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully captured this enchanting artwork through their expert lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even from afar. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage.
