EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" published in Florence, Italy, in 1844, offers a captivating glimpse into the sacred precincts of a Hindu temple in India. At the heart of this tranquil scene, two revered deities, Vishnu and Lakshmi, gracefully reside within the ornate and intricately carved Indian pagodas. Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, is depicted in his reclining form, Anantasayana, resting on the coils of the serpent Ananta, symbolizing eternal life and the cycle of existence. His consort, Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity, is shown seated beside him, adorned in golden jewelry and holding a lotus flower, a symbol of purity and creation. The serene ambiance of the temple compound is further accentuated by the presence of devotees, who offer their respects to the divine couple. The pagodas, with their tiered roofs and ornate decorations, rise majestically against the backdrop of a lush, green landscape, reflecting the harmonious blend of art, architecture, and spirituality that characterizes Hindu temples. Andrea Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of handcolours bring this sacred scene to life, offering a fascinating window into the rich cultural heritage and religious traditions of ancient India.
