EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Shri Shri Lakshmi" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century India. Created by an unknown artist around 1880, this exquisite piece showcases the divine Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi. In this vibrant artwork, we witness the graceful presence of Lakshmi amidst a serene lily pond adorned with blooming lotus flowers. The hand-coloured lithograph brings out the vivid hues that enhance her ethereal beauty. With a halo illuminating her divine aura, she exudes both power and tranquility. As our eyes explore every detail of this masterpiece, we notice an owl perched nearby—a symbol often associated with wisdom in Hinduism—signifying Lakshmi's ability to bestow knowledge upon her devotees. Wheat stalks scattered across the scene represent abundance and fertility, further emphasizing her role as the provider of material and spiritual wealth. The artist skillfully captures not only Lakshmi's physical attributes but also conveys a sense of reverence towards this revered deity. This print serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage and religious traditions. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this remarkable artwork invites us to delve into ancient mythology while appreciating its artistic brilliance. It stands as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless representations continue to inspire awe and admiration for their profound symbolism and aesthetic allure.
