About Durga Maqbool Fida Husain Painting
Icons from Hindu religious texts and mythology were a recurring theme in Maqbool Fida Husain’s paintings. The artist started painting Indian gods and goddesses, reconfiguring them with his unique visual vocabulary, as early as the 1950s, and has been both praised and criticized for these portrayals. This painting of a totemic female warrior in blue, riding a tiger, is likely inspired by traditional depictions of the Goddess Durga. In Hinduism, Durga, also known as Shakti or Devi, is the protector of all that is good and harmonious in the world. She is usually portrayed in painting and sculpture riding a lion, with her multiple arms holding different weapons. Durga was created by the Hindu triumvirate or trimurti consisting of the three gods, Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma, to slay the buffalo demon Mahisasura. In this example the tiger is presented centrally, carrying Durga on its back pouncing upon the vanquished demon.About the Canvas Prints
