EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent sculpture of Garuda, the mount of God Vishnu, standing in a gesture of adoration. Believed to date back to the 11th century or even earlier, this ancient artwork is an exquisite example of Nepalese heritage art. The full-length figurine depicts Garuda, a prominent deity in Hinduism, with his hands raised in the Anjalimudra gesture. The vibrant colors and intricate details on the stone sculpture highlight the skill and craftsmanship of its unknown creator. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into Nepal's rich artistic traditions and religious beliefs. As one gazes upon it, they can't help but be captivated by its beauty and spiritual significance. Garuda stands tall as a symbol of devotion and reverence towards God Vishnu. His presence evokes feelings of awe and wonderment as he serves as both protector and vahana (vehicle) for Lord Vishnu. This photograph not only captures the physicality of this remarkable statue but also invites us to contemplate our own connection with divinity through art. It reminds us that across time and space, people have sought solace in religion and expressed their spirituality through various forms. As we admire this ancient masterpiece frozen in time, we are reminded that art has always been an integral part of human existence - bridging cultures, transcending boundaries, and connecting us all through shared experiences.
