The Masterpiece
When the quake struck at midday, the townspeople had rushed out from their shaking homesteads to safe grounds. Only the master painter had dallied. He had just been inspired by the grandeur of Nature all around his studio and was keen to capture that scene on canvas. When the shaking became stronger, his family had rushed in to plead with him to leave. His reassuring answer was ‘I’ll run out just as I finish the last stroke on the painting’.
Alas! the last stroke had cost his life, for the roof had caved in and the home was a heap of rubble. The family had moved to a new shelter but still came back to recover their belongings, as bulldozers unearthed their possessions. When the painting had been excavated from the rubble, it was intact and still gleaming.
The art dealers had taken it to an international auction where it had fetched crores.
But the family were already rehabilitated and felt that the money should be used to uplift the community once again. The painting now hangs in the Indian Museum and the residents of the town have never forgotten the supreme sacrifice of their master painter for them.
