EURASIA REVIEW
NEW YORK---The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York is displaying authoritative commentary on 16th century painting of Hindu Lord Krishna holding Mount Goverdhan, including an audio-visual essay and interactive feature. This watercolor, “Krishna Holds Up Mount Govardhan to Shelter the Villagers of Braj”, is a folio from a Harivamsa (1590–95). Met’s presentation lets the viewer take a closer look at the dense cast of characters in the painting by selecting hotspots. Curator is Navina Haidar. [link]
