EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sani" takes us on a visual journey to the exotic lands of India and China. Created by Pierre Sonnerat in 1782, this coloured engraving showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this mythical Hindu deity to life. In the image, we see Sani depicted with four arms, each holding symbolic objects representing his divine powers. His majestic presence is further enhanced as he rides upon a crow, an unusual yet intriguing choice of transportation for a god. The trident held firmly in one hand signifies his association with Lord Shiva, while serpents intertwine around him, symbolizing both protection and danger. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are drawn to Sani's piercing gaze that seems to hold ancient wisdom and secrets untold. The artist's skillful use of shading and texture adds depth to every element within the composition – from the feathers of the crow to the scales of the snakes. This print not only captures our attention but also sparks curiosity about Hindu mythology and its rich symbolism. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across time and space, allowing us glimpses into cultures far removed from our own. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this enchanting piece continues to inspire awe and fascination among art enthusiasts who appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
