Framed Print of Shri Raga, c. 1695. Creator: Unknown
Shri Raga, c. 1695. This painting is from an important series made at a turning point in the history of court painting at the Rajput kingdom of Mewar. For the first time, a royal patron, Amar Singh II (r. 1698-1710), even before his accession to the throne, decided to incorporate Mughal elements into secular art, as seen in the white domed architecture and interest in conveying some sense of spatial depth. Nevertheless, the artist still adheres to the use of horizontal registers and bold planes of colour. The codified iconography of Shri Raga involves a royal couple listening to recitations: Splendidly enthroned of peerless beauty and lovely as the autumn moon, he sits hearing stories from Narada and Tumvara. By the great sages he is called Shri Raga King. Amar Singh has playfully substituted his own portrait for that of the generic king, and a woman for that of the sage. In music, Shri Raga is associated with the season of autumn and the harvest festivals, here evoked by the dancing female musicians in the lower register.
