The Jilted Lover

Kimberly Masteller is the Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, where she curates a collection of Indian, Southeast Asian, and Persian art spanning from the ancient eras to the present. Kim has published several books and articles and has taught university courses in Asian and Islamic art. Kim interprets one of her favorite paintings, an 18th century Deccan School depiction of Ramakali Ragini from a series of musical mode paintings called a Ragamala or The Garden of Melodies. In her delightful interpretation we see a heroine at home in her palace preparing for a tryst with her lover who arrives late because he has been with someone else. We are treated to anger, emotion and romantic tension as our jilted lover rejects her beloved. Kim’s trained eye makes us pause on the fruit laden trees, the turgid waters and the pairs of animals, symbolic of the mood of romantic love. As the eye travels across the rugged landscape we see in the distance a retreat for yogis. The mastery of the artist is revealed as much in the mood being portrayed as with the details – we are served a visual feast of lush greenery, fully swollen rivers and moody landscapes. All in all a delightful interpretation of the mood of The Jilted Lover. #kmasteller #nelsonatkinsmuseum #nelsonatkins #kansascity #indianart #indianminiaturepainting #indianminiature #ragamala #ramakaliragini #indianpainting #deccan #deccanpainting @kmasteller @onefinedaypictures @artsofhindostan
