EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable votive monument to Vishnu, originating from Preah Khan in Kompong Svay, Cambodia. Crafted from exquisite sandstone during the 12th century by Cambodian artisans, this masterpiece now finds its home at the Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The monument's four sides are adorned with fifteen rows of seventeen miniature images of Vishnu, depicting his divine presence and significance within Hinduism. As the preserver of the universe and one of the most revered deities in Hindu mythology, Vishnu is often associated with serpents. Intricately carved and meticulously detailed, this sculpture captures both the majesty of Vishnu and the awe-inspiring power of snakes. The serpent symbolism represents rebirth, fertility, protection, and wisdom - all qualities attributed to this ancient deity. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship flourished. The skillful rendering brings these mythical creatures to life while honoring their place within Hindu culture. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout history. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty found within nature but also our ability as humans to capture that beauty through artistic expression.
