EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "Vishnu in his 10th Incarnation as the White Houre Kalki" created between 1710 and 1720. Housed at the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this piece originates from Bilaspur, India. The image depicts an awe-inspiring scene where Vishnu, one of Hinduism's most revered deities, assumes his tenth incarnation as the divine warrior known as Kalki. In this vibrant artwork, we witness a face-to-face encounter between Vishnu-Kalki and various figures representing both humans and animals. The central focus is on Vishnu-Kalki himself, portrayed as a majestic male figure with intricate details adorning his white attire. His hand gestures exude power and authority while symbolizing profound metaphors within Hindu religious beliefs. Surrounded by horses that gallop energetically across the canvas, this painting captures the essence of Asian culture during the eighteenth century. Its rich colors bring life to every brushstroke and highlight its significance as an object of historical importance. The inclusion of this masterpiece within the Victoria and Albert Museum's collection further emphasizes its value in preserving cultural heritage for generations to come. Through this photo print, viewers are invited to delve into Indian mythology while appreciating the artistic prowess displayed by CM Dixon, who captured this extraordinary work.
