English: Indian and Himalayan Art
Elephant in Battle Made in Kota, Rajasthan, India c. 1750-70 Artist/maker unknown, India Opaque watercolor, gold, and silver on paper 15 3/4 x 18 7/8 inches (40 x 47.9 cm) Currently not on view 1994-148-394 Stella Kramrisch Collection, 1994 Label The Indian elephant was used as a primary battle engine for over two thousand years across the subcontinent and was valued by rulers far above horses. In this painting, a heavily armored battle elephant rampages across a bright yellow Weld amid troops mounted on horses. On his back are two soldiers armed with spears, arrows, and swords; the foremost is the mahout who wields the elephant goad that could give a trained elephant over a hundred commands by gentle touches to different parts of the animal's body. The elephant has chains on its legs and carries more in its trunk. They would have served as flails to attack the enemy infantry. At some point after its making, this vivid painting appears to have been cut down from a larger work and an apparently spurious inscription was added on the back. |
