  • The artists of the Rajput royal courts produced some of the most richly decorated and exquisitely detailed paintings in the history of art. Animal hunting was not only a recreational activity but an important foundation of Rajput ceremonial and religious culture. Filled with many tiny figures, panoramic hunting scenes often depict the king, identifiable by his golden nimbus, in up to ten different places galloping and prancing across a lush landscape with his hunting party in brave pursuit – and the ultimate conquest – of cheetahs, boars, tigers, gazelles and cranes. Swipe for detail. On display in Visions of Paradise until April 28. #NGV • Maharana Sangram Singh II hunting crane c. 1725, Udaipur, Rajasthan (detail) National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Felton Bequest, 1980

  • Swipe ⬅️ Metamorphosis I was the first print in which M. C. Escher introduced the new visual ideas that emerged from his study of tessellations, or ‘regular division of the plane’, as he termed it. Through a series of subtle metamorphoses of form, the schematic figure on the right of this woodcut transforms into an Italian seaside town on the left. Escher achieves not only a metamorphosis of shape, but also of two-dimensional into three-dimensional form. • M. C. Escher Metamorphosis I May 1937 (cut) woodcut on two sheets Escher Collection, Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, The Hague, the Netherlands © The M. C. Escher Company, the Netherlands. All rights reserved

  • This vibrant geometric composition represents the flooding of Purkitji (Sturt Creek) located on the northern fringes of the Great Sandy Desert Country where the artist Boxer Milner Tjampitjin grew up. The central lines indicate the main channel of Sturt Creek. The outer shapes depict the ‘milkwater’ phase of the wet season, when the white clay soils flowing down from the northern banks of Sturt Creek cloud the fresh water. #NGV • Image: Installation view of Boxer Milner Tjampitjin Purkitji, Sturt Creek 2004 Balgo, Western Australia National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
