EDITORS COMMENTS
This black stone sculpture, titled "Garuda, from Mandla Fort, Madhya Pradesh" transports us back to the 13th century in India. Standing at an impressive height of 107 centimeters and spanning a width of 60 centimeters, this artwork is a remarkable representation of Garuda, a mythical creature deeply rooted in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. With its bird-like wings outstretched majestically, the figure exudes power and grace. The intricate details carved into the black stone bring life to this mythological being. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of the rich religious beliefs and cultural heritage that permeate South Asia. Garuda holds great significance in both Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hindu mythology, he is known as Lord Vishnu's mount and symbolizes strength and loyalty. Meanwhile, in Buddhist tradition, Garuda represents wisdom and protection against evil forces. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of this ancient sculpture housed within a private collection. Dirk Bakker skillfully frames the image to highlight every contour while maintaining reverence for its historical context. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry from Madhya Pradesh's Mandla Fort, we are transported into a world where myths intertwine with reality—a testament to India's rich artistic legacy that continues to inspire awe even today.
