EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Delhi: Cortege and Retinue of the Great Moghul" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century India. Created by A. Soltykoff, a Russian artist and traveler, this print showcases the grandeur and opulence of the Mughal Empire. The scene unfolds with an awe-inspiring procession led by the Great Moghul himself. The emperor is seated atop a majestic elephant adorned with intricate decorations, symbolizing his power and authority. His retinue follows closely behind, dressed in traditional attire that reflects their rich cultural heritage. Flags flutter in the air as they move through Delhi's bustling streets, drawing attention from onlookers who gather to witness this magnificent display of pomp and ceremony. The lithograph beautifully captures chiaroscuro lighting techniques that add depth and drama to the composition. Every detail has been meticulously rendered - from ornate parasols shielding dignitaries from the sun to architectural marvels lining the parade route. This print not only offers a glimpse into historical events but also provides valuable insights into Indian society during colonial times. As we admire this piece from Prince Alexis Soltykoff's "Voyages dans l'Inde" we are reminded of India's rich cultural tapestry and its enduring traditions. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and anthropological exploration, allowing us to delve into a world long past while appreciating its beauty in our present day.
