Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan - A Majestic 11th Century Sculpture from Angkor
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite sculpture from the Angkor period, specifically the 11th century. Created by an unknown artist, this masterpiece depicts a significant moment in Hindu mythology - Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan. Carved meticulously out of sandstone, this decorative artwork exemplifies the artistic prowess of Southeast Asian craftsmen during that era. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship are evident in every curve and contour of this stunning piece. The sculpture portrays Krishna, a revered deity in Hinduism, as he heroically lifts Mount Govardhan on his finger to protect his people from torrential rains unleashed by Indra, the god of thunder. This divine act symbolizes Krishna's power and compassion towards humanity. Located within the Art Institute of Chicago's renowned Arts of Asia collection, this heritage art represents not only Cambodia's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to Southeast Asia's artistic legacy. Its presence in the gallery allows visitors to immerse themselves in ancient religious narratives while appreciating its aesthetic beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by an anonymous photographer, we are transported back centuries ago to witness a pivotal moment frozen in time. Let us marvel at the mastery behind each stroke and honor those who have preserved such treasures for generations to come.
