EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the divine figure of Varuna, the God of the Oceans, in all his majestic glory. Engraved by Charles Etienne Pierre Motte, a renowned artist from the 18th century, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this Vedic deity. Varuna is depicted riding atop a sea monster known as Makara – a fascinating creature that combines features of both fish and antelope. The intricate details in this artwork highlight Varuna's regal headdress and ornate jewelry, symbolizing his status as a powerful Hindu god. The image exudes an aura of strength and authority as Varuna confidently astrides Makara through the vast oceanic realm under his dominion. With a lasso in hand, he commands control over the waters with ease and grace. This stunning piece from Louis Thomas Bardel's Private Collection is part of The Stapleton Collection. It serves as an artistic homage to Indian culture and Hinduism while showcasing Motte's exceptional talent for engraving. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported into a world where gods reign supreme over nature's elements. Varuna stands tall as an embodiment of divinity and guardianship over oceans - reminding us of their immense power yet delicate balance within our planet's ecosystem.
