EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the first incarnation of Vishnu as a fish, beautifully depicted by P. Sonnerat and skillfully sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson in 1782. The image showcases the intricate details of this ancient Hindu mythological tale, where Vishnu takes on the form of a fish to protect mankind from an impending catastrophic flood. The artwork is part of Pierre Sonnerat's renowned collection titled "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" which explores various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. This particular illustration can be found on plate 35 after page 158 in volume one. The delicate brushstrokes and precise craftsmanship bring life to Vishnu's aquatic manifestation. The fish appears majestic yet gentle as it swims gracefully through turbulent waters. Its divine presence exudes a sense of tranquility amidst chaos. This historical print transports us back to a time when mythology intertwined with reality, offering viewers a glimpse into ancient beliefs and traditions. It serves as a visual reminder that art has always been an essential medium for storytelling across cultures. Sepia Times / UIG presents this remarkable piece as part of their extensive collection from Universal Images Group (UIG), allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance behind this iconic representation of Vishnu's first incarnation in fish form.
