EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from a dispersed Ragamala Series, also known as the Garland of Musical Modes, dating back to around 1710. Created by an unknown artist during the 18th century in India, this exquisite piece of heritage art is now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The painting depicts three women in vibrant attire within a tranquil courtyard setting. Dressed elegantly in traditional saris, their clothes are adorned with rich hues of red, blue, and yellow that beautifully contrast against the building's exterior. The intricate details captured through ink and opaque watercolor on paper bring these figures to life. As we delve into this snapshot of daily life in Mewar, Rajasthan, we catch a glimpse of domesticity intertwined with music. The women are engrossed in conversation or perhaps even singing melodies associated with different ragas (musical modes). Their surroundings exude serenity and provide an idyllic backdrop for their harmonious connection. This artwork not only reflects the cultural richness and artistic prowess prevalent during 18th-century India but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Ragamala paintings. Despite its fragmented state due to dispersal over time, this page continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
