ART GALLERY Welcome to our new Deepak Heritage Art Gallery. We are very pleased to be able to present a superlative work of art as our initial offering.
This
painting is a reproduction of an original work depicting the commencement of the
Rasa Mandala, or the formation of the wondrous circle dance, described in the
first several verses of the final chapter or act of the dramatic poem.
Specifically, the image illustrates the Bhagavata Purana, Book Ten,
Chapter 33, Verses 2 and 3. (or Rasa Lila 5.2-3). The
painting was commissioned by Graham M. Schweig, the author of Dance of
Divine: The Rasa Lila of Krishna from the Bhagavata Purana (Princeton, 2005),
who also worked closely with the artist to determine the general composition of
the painting and details. The painting was executed by Krishna Priya in the
traditional Rajasthani art, using all hand-ground paints, including pure gold
and silver. The artist utilized brushes made of small tail-hairs of squirrels to
achieve the great detail of the painting. FINE ART DIGITAL LIMITED EDITION REPRODUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE The
