EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "II incarnation of Vichenou in turtle". Created by Pierre M. Sonnerat and Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson, this masterpiece takes us on a visual journey through the realms of mythology and spirituality. The image depicts the second incarnation of Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, as a majestic turtle. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this divine creature to life, capturing its power and grace. Signed by both artists, P. Sonnerat pinx (painter) and Poisson sc (sculptor), their collaboration beautifully merges artistic talents. Taken from Pierre Sonnerat's renowned book "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" published in 1782, this print offers a glimpse into his extensive travels across India and China under King Louis XVI's orders. Through his explorations, he delved into various aspects of these cultures such as customs, religion, sciences, arts, and more. Displayed within the pages of this historical volume before page 159 (Volume 1), it is evident that Sonnerat sought to share his discoveries with others who were equally fascinated by distant lands. Thanks to Sepia Times / UIG from Universal Images Group for preserving this remarkable piece of artistry that continues to captivate viewers centuries later. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of ancient legends intertwined with human creativity.
