Video Title:
Soundscape 3 | A Splendid Land: Paintings from Royal Udaipur
Description:
What does a painting sound like? When a tiger comes dangerously close to Udaipur, the king and his companions track the man-eater to a scrub-covered mountain, just south of the City Palace. With drums, horns and sticks, musicians and “beaters” flush the tiger toward the hunters. They build a percussive din as they slowly move inwards to corral the beast. Painters Pyara and Naga capture the mood of the hunt, depicting the lone tiger multiple times as it frantically twists, turns, and reverses course to escape the clamor of the hunting party. For a closer look, see "Tiger's Din," a digital feature by NYU graduate student Isla Stewart: https://asia.si.edu/exhibition/a-splendid-land-curatorial-conversations-tigers-din/ A Splendid Land: Paintings from Royal Udaipur will be on view at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art from November 19, 2022 through May 14, 2023.
