EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Krishna squeezed by the Kaliya Serpent" takes us on a visual journey into the world of Hindu mythology. Created by Pierre Sonnerat and engraved by Poisson in 1782, this coloured engraving showcases the extraordinary strength and divine attributes of Krishna, one of the most revered gods in Hinduism. In this scene, we witness Krishna's blue-skinned form entangled within the coils of the formidable Kaliya Serpent. The concerned inhabitants of Vrindavan look on anxiously as their beloved deity faces this perilous encounter. Despite being strangled by the serpent, Krishna remains calm and composed, radiating an aura of power that transcends his physical predicament. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring to life not only Krishna's struggle but also highlight the beauty and majesty of these mystical creatures. The serpentine curves intertwine with each other, emphasizing both their menacing nature and their awe-inspiring presence. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of the timeless tales woven within Hindu mythology. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with ancient folklore and our enduring desire to explore realms beyond our own reality. This remarkable piece from "Voyage aux Indes et à la Chine" is part of The Stapleton Collection, offering us a glimpse into a rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate audiences today.
