EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Grandfathers" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the realms of mythology and ancient legends. The image depicts Virapatren, the fourth son of Shiva, who was believed to be born with an extraordinary physical form consisting of a thousand heads and two thousand arms. This unique portrayal is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor. The artwork originates from Pierre M. Sonnerat's renowned book "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine" published in 1782. In this extensive volume, Sonnerat delves into various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. His work provides valuable insights into these fascinating civilizations. The sepia-toned print adds an air of antiquity to this already intriguing composition. It transports us back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by human imagination throughout history. It serves as a testament to our innate curiosity about other cultures and our desire to understand them better. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures not only the beauty but also the depth behind each brushstroke or chisel mark that brings forth such mythical beings onto canvas or stone. It invites us to ponder upon ancient tales passed down through generations while appreciating the artistic mastery involved in immortalizing them for posterity.
