The Golden Temple, Amritsar, India (1890) masterfully captures the iconic Sikh shrine bathed in the vivid sunlight of India. The painting emphasizes the temple’s dazzling gold upper structure and clustered domes contrasting with the soft white marble of its base, subtly enhanced by inlaid floral patterns. Weeks, known for his Orientalist works and fascination with light, renders the temple as a “glittering jewel” reflected in the tranquil “tank” (sacred pool) that surrounds it, creating a sense of ethereal beauty. The vibrant colors and precise architectural details, combined with the play of harsh sunlight and deep shadows, make this a quintessential example of Weeks’s immersive depictions of Indian landscapes.
