EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Figure of Venugopala, a masterpiece from South India dating back to the late Chola / early Vijayanagar period in the late 13th or early 14th century. Crafted from granite, this sculpture stands at an impressive height of 119.4 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The figure depicts Krishna, also known as Venugopala, in all his divine glory. Carved meticulously in the round, Krishna is portrayed holding a flute to his lips while donning a traditional short dhoti. The sacred thread gracefully encircles his body, symbolizing his elevated status within Hinduism. Every intricate detail on this statue speaks volumes about the skill and artistry of the Indian School that created it. From Krishna's serene expression to the flowing drapery of his garment, every aspect exudes elegance and spirituality. Krishna's association with music and love makes him an important deity within Hindu mythology. This sculpture beautifully captures both aspects through its depiction of him playing the flute with utmost grace and charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where devotion was expressed through stone sculptures like these. It serves as a testament to India's rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy that continues to inspire awe even today.
