EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of "Ishana or Shiva" engraved by C. de Motte in the 19th century. The colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this divine figure, belonging to Hindu mythology. In this depiction, Ishana is portrayed as a powerful deity riding atop a majestic antelope. With his trident held firmly in hand and a cobra coiled around his neck, he exudes an aura of strength and authority. As one of the many forms of Shiva, Ishana represents both creation and destruction, embodying the cyclical nature of life. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the delicate lines etched into Ishana's flowing robes to the serene expression on his face, each element contributes to a sense of reverence for this revered figure. Notably, Ishana hails from India's northeastern region and holds significant cultural significance there. This portrayal serves as a testament to how diverse interpretations exist within Hinduism itself. This print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate French School artistry from centuries past. It reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing spirituality and showcasing different cultures' beliefs. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where gods ride mythical creatures amidst symbols representing their power – reminding us that faith can be found even in our most extraordinary imaginings.
