EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture of the Hindu deity, God Vishnu, riding his majestic mount, Garuda. Created by an unknown artist in the 16th or 17th century, this exquisite piece of art is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic traditions of Nepal. In this intricately carved stone sculpture, Vishnu sits in the lotus position with his legs crossed and hands gesturing in mudra. The vibrant colors bring life to the artwork as it depicts Vishnu's divine presence and power. His mount, Garuda, a mythical bird-like creature known for its speed and strength, soars through the air beneath him. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. From the delicate features on Vishnu's face to the intricate patterns adorning his attire, each element reflects both skillful craftsmanship and deep religious symbolism. Displayed at an art gallery or institute like The Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of Asia collection, this Nepalese sculpture serves as a visual representation of Hinduism's profound influence on art throughout history. It invites viewers into a world where gods transcend human form and ride upon their vahana (vehicle) towards enlightenment. As we admire this timeless creation by an anonymous artist from centuries past, we are reminded that art has always been a powerful medium for expressing devotion and spirituality across cultures.
