EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable depiction of Sani, the deity Shani, the god of Saturday, punishing bad behavior while riding on a majestic raven. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor, dating back to 1782. The image is part of Pierre M. Sonnerat's renowned work titled "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" which was commissioned by King Louis XVI between 1774 and 1781. This extensive volume explores various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. Sani's portrayal in this piece exudes power and authority as he enforces justice upon those who have transgressed societal norms. The artist has masterfully captured his divine presence through intricate details that highlight both his wrathful nature and commanding aura. The choice to depict Sani riding on a raven adds an intriguing element to the composition. Ravens are often associated with mystery and wisdom in mythology; thus, it symbolizes Sani's omniscience in discerning right from wrong. This extraordinary print allows us to delve into ancient beliefs surrounding punishment for misconduct while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with deities like Sani who mete out justice according to their divine will.
