Antique Indian Miniature Painting of Lovers Krishna & Radha, Circa 19th Century
About the Item
A charming painting of Lord Krishna and his paramour Radha painted in mineral pigments (gouache) with gold and silver highlights circa mid 19th century in Jaipur style of painting.
Krishna was a god (an incarnation of god Vishnu) who accomplished great feats and defeated insurmountable demons.
However, he is also considered the most playful amongst gods and an epic lover of godly proportions. His love story with Radha (a married woman) has been the subject of much poetry and worship for centuries as it symbolized the divine love.
Here, the lovers are depicted in a loving embrace offering one another a lotus flower. Radha is often depicted hopelessly resisting Krishna's advances as in this painting. The couple's heads are circled by a halo, signifying their divinity. The setting is typical of the interior modeling in the 19th century with use of heavy curtains and furniture. The couple appears beyond a balcony.
The painting has a handmade silk mat and wooden frame highlighted with 24-karat gold-leaf.
The frame measures (H x W) 16 1/2 x 13 inches and the painting as viewable measures 8 1/2 x 7 inches.

The painting style is impressionism which was keenly followed by a new generation of Japanese artists who either traveled to Europe for training or received Western publications on artists and gallery shows at home. Kitayama, Seitaro was born on March 3, 1888 in Wakayama, and died on February 13, 1945. In 1911, Kitayama became an apprentice to Tojiro Oshita and, while studying painting, also helped out with editing the art magazine Mizue.
