EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Figure of Venugopala" from South India, dating back to the late Chola / early Vijayanagar period in the late 13th or early 14th century. Crafted from granite and standing at an impressive height of 119.4 cm, this sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Indian culture. Intricately carved in the round, it depicts Krishna, also known as Venugopala, holding a flute to his lips. Adorned in a traditional short dhoti and with a sacred thread encircling his body, Krishna's divine presence emanates through this stone masterpiece. The attention to detail is remarkable; every curve and contour expertly chiseled by skilled hands. The serene expression on Krishna's face exudes tranquility and wisdom, capturing his divine essence as a deity revered in Hinduism. As we gaze upon this statue, we are transported back centuries ago when devotion to deities like Krishna was fervent. The significance of the flute symbolizes not only music but also love and harmony – elements that resonate deeply within Hindu philosophy. This photograph beautifully captures every nuance of this ancient artwork held within a private collection. With its historical importance and cultural significance preserved for generations to come through fine art photography by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate the enduring beauty and spiritual power embodied by this Figure of Venugopala.
