EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Shiva Ardhanarishvara" by the Indian School in the 18th century. Measuring at 18.1 x 17.3 cm, this piece is currently housed in the San Diego Museum of Art, USA as part of the Edwin Binney 3rd Collection. The painting depicts a divine composite figure known as Ardhanareshwara, representing both Shiva and Uma (Parvati) in one harmonious form. The artist skillfully uses opaque watercolors, gold, and silver on paper to bring this mesmerizing deity to life. Intricately detailed, Shiva Ardhanarishvara stands tall with half of his body portrayed as male and the other half as female. This symbolic representation embodies the union of masculine and feminine energies within Hinduism. A majestic tiger accompanies Shiva Ardhanarishvara on one side, emphasizing his connection with nature and wildness. The goddess Uma gracefully adorns herself beside him on the other side, completing their divine unity. This painting not only showcases exceptional artistic talent but also serves as a visual representation of profound spiritual beliefs within Hindu culture. It invites viewers to contemplate duality and balance while marveling at its intricate beauty. Bridgeman Images has captured this remarkable artwork through their lens for Fine Art Finder enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its cultural significance and timeless allure.
