EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite bronze sculpture of Kaliyakrishna, a significant artwork from the Chola period in Tamil Nadu, India. Created by the Indian School in the 10th century, this masterpiece measures 57.5 x 19 cm and is currently housed at the National Museum of India in New Delhi. The image depicts Lord Krishna gracefully dancing on the head of Kaliya, a venomous serpent. This portrayal symbolizes Krishna's victory over evil and his ability to tame even the most dangerous creatures with his divine powers. The intricate details of this sculpture highlight the craftsmanship and artistic brilliance prevalent during that era. The presence of snakes as sacred animals holds great significance in Hindu mythology, representing both fertility and protection. In this artwork, they serve as a reminder of our connection to nature and its diverse wildlife. Bridgeman Images has impeccably captured every nuance of this remarkable piece, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and cultural importance. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an era where art was not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply meaningful.
