Late 19th Century Hindu Folk Art Painted on Silk of Bhagwan Vishnu Taking Form as the Kurma Avatar. Fascinating and Appealing Piece. Hindu legends and stories involving Bhagwan Vishnu, preserver and protector of the Universe, are know throughout the world. Lord Vishnu took on 10 different avatars and Kurma was his second. To calm the seas between gods and demons (Asuras and Devas) Lord Vishnu took on the form of a sea turtle (Kurma) saving the planet Earth from a massive cosmic mishap.
Offered is a unique and fascinating interpretation of the legend painted on silk. A historian of note dated this piece late 19th century. The silk has toned from age with areas of dampstaining. Nevertheless the colors are still quite vivid and the artistry, while not temple quality mesmerize in their compositions and detail surrounding Vishnu. In many works, Vishnu as Kurma is depicted wasted deep in a turtle shell. Here he rides on the back which is quite charming. Also Vishnu is depicted with multiple arms/hands (as many deities are) to battle cosmic forces and convey the powers of the Gods performing numerous acts at a single time.
42 x 31" and framed to 44 x 33". Estimated Value $600 - 900
