EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Ve incarnation of Vichenou, also known as the Fifth incarnation of Vishnu, depicted as a dwarf. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor, dating back to 1782. The image comes from Pierre M. Sonnerat's renowned book titled "Voyages aux Indes orientales et a la Chine" which was commissioned by King Louis XVI between 1774 and 1781. This extraordinary publication delves into various aspects of Indian, Chinese, Pegouin (Burmese), and Madegasse (Malagasy) cultures including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. The intricate details captured in this print offer a glimpse into the rich mythology surrounding Vishnu's incarnations in Hinduism. Here we witness his manifestation as a dwarf figure symbolizing humility and wisdom amidst great power. Displayed against an elaborate backdrop that reflects the cultural aesthetics of its time period, this artwork serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into historical beliefs and traditions. Preserved within the Liszt Collection archives, this remarkable piece invites viewers to explore ancient narratives while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship employed by both Sonnerat and Poisson. It stands testament to their dedication in documenting diverse cultures for future generations to admire and learn from.
