EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-17th century print, titled "Churning of the Sea of Milk" showcases a mesmerizing scene from Hindu mythology. Created by an Indian School artist, this gouache on paper artwork is housed in the prestigious Musee Guimet in Paris, France. The image depicts gods and demons working together to produce amrita, an elixir that grants immortality. In order to support the pole used for churning, Vishnu takes the form of a giant tortoise. The ocean churns vigorously as various mythical creatures such as elephants, horses, and a giant snake named Vasuki participate in this divine endeavor. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life. Each character exudes power and intensity as they strive towards their goal of obtaining eternal life through amrita. This artwork serves as a visual representation of one of Hinduism's most significant episodes from the Bhagavat Purana. As you gaze upon this print, allow yourself to be transported into the realm of Hindu mythology where gods and demons unite for a common purpose. Feel the energy emanating from each brushstroke as it captures both chaos and harmony within this celestial event.
