This print showcases a magnificent sculpture from the 11th century, depicting the revered Hindu deities God Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. The artwork, carved in stone by an unknown artist, is a testament to the rich heritage of Nepali art. In this masterpiece, God Vishnu stands tall with his divine consort Lakshmi by his side. Both figures are adorned with vibrant colors that bring life to their forms. Vishnu's multiple arms symbolize his immense power and ability to protect and preserve the universe. Meanwhile, Lakshmi radiates grace and beauty as the goddess of wealth. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this sculpture - from the intricate carving on their bodies to their delicate hand gestures known as mudras. Standing behind them is Garuda, Vishnu's loyal mount or vahana, who adds another layer of symbolism to this mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this ancient artwork captured through photography at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of Asia, we can't help but be transported back in time. This image serves as a reminder of Nepal's rich artistic traditions and its deep-rooted connection with Hinduism. Through this print by Unknown artist, we are granted a glimpse into centuries-old religious beliefs and cultural practices that continue to inspire awe even today.
