EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration titled "Chiven Vichenou under name Sangara narainen". Created by Pierre M. Sonnerat and Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson in 1782, this artwork is a part of the renowned collection called "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine". The image portrays the divine idols Shiva and Vishnu merged into one person, known as Sangara narainen or "fire-water" in Hindu mythology. The intricate details of the illustration highlight the rich cultural heritage and religious significance of these deities. Pierre Sonnerat's skilled hand brings to life every stroke, capturing the essence of both Shiva and Vishnu within this mesmerizing artwork. The fusion of fire and water symbolizes their contrasting yet complementary powers, representing destruction and creation. Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson's masterful sculpting further enhances the visual impact of this piece. His meticulous craftsmanship adds depth and dimension to each figure, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricacy with awe-inspiring clarity. Displayed on plate 32 before page 155 in volume 1 of this remarkable collection, this print serves as a testament to Sonnerat's extensive travels throughout India and China during his expedition ordered by King Louis XVI from 1774 until 1781. With its profound exploration of Indian customs, religion, sciences, arts, as well as insights into Chinese culture through vivid descriptions accompanied by stunning illustrations like this one - it is no wonder that "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine" remains an invaluable resource for scholars today.
