EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture titled "God Shiva and Goddess Uma Seated with their Son, Skanda (Somaskanda), about 1400". Created during the Vijayanagar period in the 15th century, this bronze artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India. In this close-up shot, we are presented with a vibrant display of color and detail. The image captures the divine family seated together - God Shiva, Goddess Uma, and their son Skanda. Shiva, known as the god of war in Hinduism, exudes power and strength while Uma radiates grace and beauty as the goddess of air. Their son Skanda (also known as Karttikeya) completes this sacred trio. The artist skillfully crafted each figure with meticulous attention to detail. From their serene expressions to elaborate adornments on their bodies, every aspect reflects devotion and reverence for these deities. This photograph transports us back in time to Tamil Nadu in southern India where this masterpiece originated from. It serves as a reminder of India's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted religious traditions. Displayed at an art gallery or institute such as the Art Institute Chicago, it invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its spiritual significance. This artwork stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history – an enduring symbol that continues to inspire awe and admiration even after centuries have passed.
