EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Durga slaying Mahishasura" transports us to the 19th century and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an English School artist. The print, now part of a private collection, is a powerful illustration for Edward Moore's book "The Hindu Pantheon" published in 1897. In this dynamic scene, we witness Durga, a revered goddess in Hinduism, fearlessly confronting the formidable demon Mahishasura. With her divine strength and unwavering determination, Durga brandishes her weapons as she prepares to vanquish evil. The intricate details of the engraving bring life to every stroke and capture the intensity of this epic battle between good and evil. As we delve into this artwork from another era, it serves as a reminder of India's rich cultural heritage and religious traditions. The image not only showcases the artistic talent behind its creation but also offers insight into Hindu mythology and spirituality. It symbolizes devotion to higher powers while highlighting themes of courage, triumph over adversity, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece through their fine art collection. This print allows us to appreciate both the technical skill involved in engravings during that time period as well as gain deeper insights into ancient Indian beliefs.
