EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the IX incarnation of Vichenou, also known as Quichena. As the ninth incarnation of Vishnu, he takes on the avatar Krishna, depicted here with a flute whose enchanting tones have the power to attract animals. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat pinx and Poisson sc, indicating that it was created by Pierre M. Sonnerat and engraved by Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson in 1782. The image is taken from Pierre Sonnerat's renowned work "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine" which chronicles his travels ordered by the King from 1774 to 1781. In this comprehensive volume, Sonnerat delves into various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including customs, religion, sciences, and arts. He also explores the lives of indigenous people such as the Pégouins and Madégasses. Displayed against a sepia-toned background courtesy of Sepia Times / UIG (Universal Images Group), this print offers a glimpse into ancient mythology and cultural exploration during an era when such knowledge was limited to few privileged individuals.
