EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1858 pencil watercolor on paper sketch titled "Street in Madras with a Temple" by Austrian artist Joseph Selleny offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Madras, now known as Chennai, in Tamil Nadu, India. The image portrays a bustling street scene, where figures of various faiths, including Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, can be seen going about their daily lives. In the background, a grand temple, with intricate carvings and a red-tiled roof, stands as a testament to the region's deep-rooted religious traditions. The artist's skillful use of color and shading brings the scene to life, transporting us back to the 19th century. This evocative work of art, a masterpiece of realism, is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, 19th-century European art, or the history and culture of India. The Belvedere Museum in Austria is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
