EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vichenou lying on the snake Achys" transports us to a mystical world where ancient legends come alive. The image depicts Vishnu, one of the most revered deities in Hindu mythology, peacefully reclining on the thousand-headed serpent Achys. The artist's skillful rendition brings out the ethereal beauty and tranquility of this divine scene. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every scale on Achys meticulously captured by Pierre Sonnerat's brushstrokes. Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson's masterful engraving further enhances the depth and texture of this enchanting artwork. Taken from Pierre Sonnerat's renowned publication "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of India and China during the late 18th century. It not only explores their customs, religions, sciences, and arts but also sheds light on lesser-known societies such as the Pégouins and Madégasses. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of Vishnu's significance in Hinduism as the preserver and protector of creation. His serene posture atop Achys symbolizes his power to maintain cosmic order while being cradled by nature itself. Sepia Times has beautifully preserved this historical gem from Universal Images Group (UIG), allowing us to appreciate its timeless allure. Let our imagination wander through time as we immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing portrayal that transcends boundaries between artistry and spirituality.
