EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning engraving of Indra, the revered god in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Mounted on his majestic white elephant Airavata, Indra exudes an aura of divine power and grace. The artwork was created by the German School in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. Indra's presence on his faithful companion symbolizes his authority as a deity and highlights their inseparable bond. The image is taken from "Illustrierte Mythologie" a publication by Otto Spamer in Leipzig in 1867 that explores the mythology, legends, and religious practices of ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Indians. The intricate details captured in this engraving bring to life the rich symbolism associated with Indra's role as a heavenly father figure. His deification is depicted through vibrant colors that enhance his divine essence. As one gazes upon this artwork, they are transported into the mystical world of Hindu pantheon where gods reign supreme. The inclusion of Airavata adds another layer to this enchanting scene. Known for its wisdom and strength, the white elephant represents purity and spiritual enlightenment within Indian culture. It serves as both a mode of transportation for Indra and an emblematic creature embodying loyalty and devotion. This remarkable piece not only celebrates religious beliefs but also pays homage to Indian heritage while showcasing the artistic talent prevalent during the 19th century German School era.
