About the Artwork +
This intricate painting by Laxminatham Handicrafts, rendered in the Tanjore painting art style, depicts the portrayal of Bal Krishna in the central composition, along with the depiction from his life, encircled in a smaller circular frame bordering his centerpiece.
Tanjore painting, an Indian traditional art style, prevailed in Tanjore or Thanjavur of Tamil Nadu in the 16th century. This art style depicts the theme of religious scenes painted with realism. The features include fine detailing, a sophisticated colour palette, an intricate composition, and the use of gold foil with a raised effect.
At the center of the composition, the representation of Bal Krishna is rendered on a gold ornate throne. This representational art resembles the painting of Krishna in Tanjore, housed at the National Museum, New Delhi. The artist has taken a step forward and depicted other figurative narratives in the painting.
His facial expression is serene and calm, and it achieves a childlike innocence with spirituality and devotion. His facial features include the lotus-shaped eyes (kamal nayan) with arched eyebrows, an elongated broad nose, and fuller lips with a protruding chin. He is embellished with an abundance of jewellery from head to toe, embossed with the use of gold foil. Moreover, his headgear is ornate with a morpankh (peacock fan). In his left hand, he is holding a pot filled with butter or maakan, while his right hand holds a single morsel of the same, and is about to eat it. Besides him, a female figure is depicted, bejewelled and holding a parrot in her left hand. Flanking them, a pair of women, one at each end, are posing and holding a veena (traditional Indian musical instrument).
The foreground depicts him with his brother Balarama, surrounded by animals like cows, deer, and a peacock rendered. The painting is posed with serenity and spirituality, with the depiction of a sacred Tulsi plant. The background is delineated with intricate architectural arches and superstructure, framing his manifestation. The sky is rendered in blue hues with celestial beings, and a representation of a moon and a sun together resembles their urge to witness his divine presence.
Further, this central composition is enclosed with another series of depictions enriched in smaller circular frames. These frames delineate scenes from the Life of Krishna, such as Vasudeva taking his newborn to Gokula, distinct episodes of his mischievous acts with his foster mother Yashodha, Bal Krishna stealing the Makkhan with his friends, Krishna with a cow, Krishna with his parents, young Krishna playing the flute, Krishna revealing the form of Lord Vishnu.
