EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century ink watercolor on paper depicts the Rock Temple of Mamallapuram, also known as Mahamaleipur or Mahabalipuram, located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a marvel of Dravidian architecture and art, showcasing intricate carvings and sculptures that reflect the rich cultural heritage of India. The temple complex is situated on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal and is believed to have been built during the Pallava dynasty between the 7th and 8th centuries. The temple is renowned for its structural grandeur and intricate bas-reliefs, which depict various themes from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. In this artwork by Austrian artist Joseph Selleny, the exterior of the temple is depicted against a serene landscape. The rocks, with their undulating shapes and textures, provide a dramatic backdrop to the temple, while the lush greenery and tranquil waters add to the sense of peace and harmony. Selleny's skillful use of ink and watercolor brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of the location with remarkable detail and accuracy. The artist's realist approach allows us to appreciate the architectural beauty of the temple and the natural splendor of its surroundings. This artwork is a testament to the enduring allure of Indian art and culture, and serves as a reminder of the profound impact it has had on the artistic movements of the 19th century. Today, it is a cherished piece in the collection of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
