EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate print captures the awe-inspiring ancient temples and intricately carved rocks of Mahabalipuram, a historic coastal city in India. Established during the 7th and 8th centuries, Mahabalipuram is renowned for its collection of monuments that showcase the Dravidian architectural style and the rich artistic heritage of the region. The central image in this print depicts the Shore Temple, a structural temple complex dedicated to the gods Shiva and Vishnu. The temple is flanked by the Bay of Bengal on three sides, making it a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the city's maritime history. The temples and rocks in Mahabalipuram are adorned with beautiful bas-relief carvings, as seen in this print. These intricate carvings depict various mythological scenes, animals, and geometric patterns, reflecting the artistic prowess of the ancient artisans. Andrea Bernieri, an Italian artist, created this print as part of Giulio Ferrario's 'Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World' series, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate lines and vibrant colours used in the print, making it a valuable historical and artistic document. This print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Mahabalipuram and the ancient world, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and artistic excellence.
