EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing scene titled "Quichena dancing Calengam snake Krishna dances". The artwork, created by Pierre M. Sonnerat and engraved by Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson in 1782, is part of Sonnerat's renowned book "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine". In this enchanting depiction, we witness the Quichena people engaged in an exquisite dance atop the majestic Calengam snake. As they gracefully move to the rhythm of their ancient traditions, Krishna himself joins them in their celestial performance on the serpent known as Kaliya. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this mythical moment to life, transporting us to distant lands filled with rich culture and profound spirituality. Sonnerat's artistic talent shines through his meticulous brushstrokes while Poisson's skillful engraving captures every nuance with precision. "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine" delves into various aspects of Indian and Chinese societies during Sonnerat's travels commissioned by King Louis XVI between 1774 and 1781. This particular image explores not only customs but also religion, sciences, and arts prevalent among Indians, Chinese people, Pegouins (Burmese), and Madegasses (Malagasy). As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are transported back in time to an era where exploration was intertwined with curiosity about diverse cultures. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with discovering new worlds beyond our own horizons.
