EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Sun Dial" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a remarkable piece of European School artistry. The private collection it belongs to has preserved this stunning representation of a sun dial, an ancient timekeeping device that tells time using the position of the sun. The print transports us to India, where we witness scenes from Delhi in the 1500s. It is fascinating to see how Indian culture embraced and utilized such innovative inventions like sun dials during this period. This artwork beautifully captures the fusion between history and technology as it showcases one of India's earliest timepieces. The intricate details on display highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating this masterpiece. From delicate engravings depicting Indian life and culture to precise markings indicating different hours of daylight, every element tells a story about our human quest for measuring time accurately. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of how cultures across Asia have contributed significantly to advancements in science and technology throughout history. The Asian influence evident in this piece adds another layer of richness and diversity. Bridgeman Images has once again curated a gem from their Fine Art Finder collection with "Sun Dial". This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a historical testament to humanity's ingenuity when it comes to tracking time.
