EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful Sani deity, also known as Shani, the god of Saturday, in the act of punishing bad behavior. Riding atop a majestic raven, Sani exudes an aura of authority and justice. The intricate details captured by Pierre M. Sonnerat's painting and Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson's sculpting bring this divine scene to life. The image is part of Pierre Sonnerat's renowned work "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" which explores various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including their customs, religion, sciences, and arts. This particular illustration offers a glimpse into the spiritual beliefs surrounding Sani and his role in maintaining moral order. Sani appears resolute as he carries out his duty to punish those who have strayed from righteousness. His presence serves as a reminder that actions have consequences and that one must always strive for virtuous conduct. The composition evokes both awe and reverence towards this ancient deity while highlighting the skillful artistry employed by Sonnerat and Poisson. It invites viewers to contemplate themes of morality, spirituality, and discipline. As we observe this remarkable depiction of Sani on his faithful raven steed delivering justice with unwavering determination, we are reminded that even amidst chaos or wrongdoing there exists an unwavering force working tirelessly to restore balance in our world.
