EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from Hindu mythology, depicting Vishnu as Varaha, the Boar Avatar, slaying Banasur, a fearsome demon general. Created around 1800 by an unknown artist and preserved in an unknown manuscript, this artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India. In this vibrant image, Varaha rides on his divine mount Garuda and wields his powerful discus with precision. The moment captured is just after he has beheaded Banasur while the demon was riding in a chariot. The intensity of the battle can be felt through the dynamic composition and vivid colors used by the artist. The painting not only portrays an epic clash between good and evil but also highlights various elements such as horses galloping mid-air, spears ready for warfare, and soldiers forming an army behind their fallen leader. It beautifully captures both the chaos of war and Varaha's unwavering determination to protect righteousness. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this masterpiece serves as a visual representation of ancient Indian religious beliefs intertwined with tales of heroism and divine intervention. Through ink and opaque watercolor on paper technique employed by the anonymous creator, every intricate detail comes to life. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us of India's rich artistic traditions that have been passed down through generations—a testament to its enduring cultural legacy.
