EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an early Hindu system of the universe, dating back to the 19th century. The intricate illustration showcases the abode of the Gods, Meru, at the center of a beautiful lotus flower. Surrounding Meru are the countries known to Brahmins, with an expanse of sea and ocean beyond. In this ancient Indian depiction, Earth is portrayed as a flat disc, highlighting the unique cosmological beliefs of Hinduism. The detailed engraving brings to life a world where gods reside in harmony with nature and humanity. Each element symbolizes a deeper spiritual connection between all living beings and their place within the vast universe. The symmetry and balance of this representation reflect the order and harmony believed to govern existence according to Hindu teachings. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where faith and tradition shaped perceptions of reality. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with all aspects of creation and invites us to contemplate our place within the cosmic tapestry woven by ancient civilizations like those in India. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are invited to explore not only a visual representation but also a philosophical reflection on the mysteries of existence as seen through early Hindu beliefs.
