EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the IV. incarnation of Vichenou, a mesmerizing blend of man and lion. As the Fourth incarnation Vishnu, this divine being possesses unparalleled speed that surpasses even the most courageous human's guts. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor. The image is taken from "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine" an extraordinary book written by Pierre M. Sonnerat in 1782 under orders from King Louis XVI himself. This remarkable literary work delves into various aspects of Indian, Chinese, Peguian, and Madagascan cultures including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. The sepia-toned print exudes an air of mystique and intrigue as it transports us to a time long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with mythical creatures and our relentless pursuit to understand different civilizations. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient times, this piece invites viewers to contemplate the intricate details meticulously crafted by Sonnerat and Poisson over two centuries ago. It sparks curiosity about these distant lands that were once shrouded in mystery. As we gaze upon this evocative image captured by Sepia Times for Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of our collective thirst for knowledge about diverse cultures throughout history – an eternal quest that continues to shape our understanding of ourselves and others today.
