Vishnu on Ananta, the Endless Serpent, c. 1700. Creator: Unknown
Vishnu on Ananta, the Endless Serpent, c. 1700. Before the creation of the world, the god Vishnu was asleep on the serpent Ananta, floating on the cosmic ocean. When the time came for him to create the world, Vishnus wife Lakshmi woke him gently by massaging his feet. Then, out of his navel emerged a lotus flower, and Vishnu gave birth to Brahma, the god of creation. As plants that grow in water, lotus flowers indicate the presence of the waters, and in this painting they are boldly distributed over a deep brown background with basket-weave patterning

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Vishnu on Ananta, the Endless Serpent" created around 1700 by an unknown artist. The painting depicts a significant moment in Hindu mythology where Vishnu, the god of preservation and protection, prepares to create the world. In this mesmerizing scene, Vishnu is peacefully asleep atop Ananta, the cosmic serpent floating on the vast ocean of existence. Before embarking on his divine task, Vishnu's wife Lakshmi gently awakens him by massaging his feet. As if responding to her touch, a lotus flower emerges from Vishnu's navel symbolizing creation itself. The artist skillfully portrays this mythological event against a deep brown background adorned with intricate basket-weave patterning. Vibrant lotus flowers boldly bloom across the canvas representing life emerging from water and hinting at their sacred significance. Rendered using gum tempera and gold on paper techniques specific to heritage art from Himachal Pradesh in Northern India during the Pahari Kingdom of Chamba era, this masterpiece exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection today, this artwork remains a testament to ancient Indian mythology and its profound influence on artistic expression throughout history. Through Heritage Images' stunning print reproduction expertise, viewers can now appreciate every intricate detail and immerse themselves in this enchanting portrayal of divine creation.
