EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history, featuring the esteemed poet Sundar Das standing before the illustrious Emperor Shah Jahan. Created by the talented artist Nainsukh during the 18th century, this exquisite folio from a Sundar Shringar transports us back to a time of grandeur and elegance. In this vibrant artwork, we see Sundar Das adorned in traditional Indian attire, his bare feet resting on a cushion as he respectfully kneels before the emperor. The opulent canopy above them adds an air of regality to the scene, while intricate floral patterns and jeweled accents adorn their clothing and accessories. Emperor Shah Jahan is depicted with grace and authority, gesturing with one hand while holding a magnificent peacock feather fly whisk in the other. This symbolizes his power and status as he receives Sundar Das's poetic offerings. The composition beautifully captures not only the physical appearance but also the cultural significance of this encounter between two influential figures. It serves as a testament to India's rich heritage and artistic traditions. Displayed at Arthur M Sackler Gallery or Freer Gallery of Art, this Indian miniature painting exemplifies Nainsukh's mastery in using opaque watercolor and gold on paper to create stunning visual narratives that transcend time. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported into an era where literature thrived under royal patronage, reminding us of India's profound contributions to art and education throughout history.
