EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable representation of the Hindu god Brahma, known as Brouma in this context. The artwork depicts Brahma seated on a magnificent lotus throne, adorned with four heads symbolizing his supreme creative power. This divine portrayal is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor. The image is part of Pierre M. Sonnerat's renowned collection titled "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" which documents his travels ordered by the King from 1774 to 1781. In this comprehensive work, Sonnerat delves into various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. The book offers valuable insights into the lives of Indians, Chinese people, Pegouins (Burmese), and Madegasses (Malagasy). Published in Paris in 1782 by Sonnerat himself along with Froule and Nyon publishers, this print represents an important historical artifact that sheds light on ancient religious beliefs and artistic expressions.
