EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Twisted Quichena of the Calengam Snake" takes us back to ancient Indian mythology. The image depicts Krishna, a revered deity in Hinduism, entwined by the fearsome serpent Calengam, also known as Kaliya. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor, showcasing their remarkable talent. The intricate details of this print transport us into a world where gods and mythical creatures coexist. Krishna's serene expression suggests his divine power and unwavering courage in facing this formidable challenge. As he stands tall amidst the coils of Calengam, we witness his mastery over nature itself. The artist's skillful use of sepia tones adds an air of antiquity to the scene, enhancing its timeless appeal. This particular print can be found in Pierre Sonnerat's renowned work "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" which explores various aspects of Indian culture and society during his travels commissioned by King Louis XVI. Through this mesmerizing visual representation, we are invited to delve into a rich tapestry of Eastern traditions and beliefs. It serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across cultures and centuries. As we admire this extraordinary piece from Sepia Times / UIG at Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to connect us with ancient narratives that continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
