About Lord Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan Rajasthan, North India, 19th Century Vintage Indian Miniature Art Painting
Lord Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan has the tradition of Indian miniature painting which can be traced from the 9th-10th century in the Buddhist Pala period palm leaf manuscript of eastern India and in the western India in the Jaina palm leaf manuscript. With the introduction of paper in 12th century in India, illustrations on paper manuscript of larger format than the narrow palm leaf, began to come into vogue. The anonymous artist has largely drawn on a Persian landscape style to depict the mountain, although here the multicolored crags are filled with wildlife native to the subcontinent. Below, the assembly of villagers evokes the timelessness of rural life, present even to this day in parts of India, with almost as much attention paid to the characterful depiction of the animals as to the human subjects. The central figure of Krishna bears the attributes of the deity, including his peacock crown, floral garland (vanamala), and draped dhoti; the brilliant color of his garment is derived from so-called Indian yellow, an early use in Mughal painting of a traditional Indian pigment.About the Posters
