EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to 19th-century India. Created in 1828 by Marlet et Cie, this artwork showcases the intricate work of an esteemed Brahmin astronomer immersed in his calculations. The artist beautifully captures the essence of Hinduism and science intertwined. The image portrays a scene within a grand building, where the Brahmin astronomer meticulously calculates celestial movements to predict an upcoming eclipse. Dressed in vibrant traditional attire, he exudes wisdom and dedication as he delves into complex astronomical equations. His focused expression reveals both his deep knowledge and spiritual connection with the cosmos. Surrounding him are other individuals engrossed in their own tasks, highlighting the collaborative nature of scientific exploration during this era. Men and women alike contribute to unraveling the mysteries of space under one roof, emphasizing gender equality even amidst societal divisions such as caste. This lithograph not only celebrates Indian culture but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge across time and borders. It reminds us that science transcends religious boundaries, bringing people together for a common purpose – understanding our universe. From Jean Claude Carriere's collection, this print preserves an important moment in history when art merged with astronomy to create something truly remarkable.
