EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing Moudevi goddess of discord and misery, a prominent figure in Indian mythology. The image depicts Moudevi riding on a donkey, holding a flag adorned with a raven symbolizing her association with chaos and despair. The artwork is signed by P. Sonnerat as the painter and Poisson as the sculptor, dating back to 1782. It belongs to Pierre M. Sonnerat's renowned publication "Voyages aux Indes orientales et à la Chine" which delves into various aspects of Indian and Chinese culture, including religion, science, art, and customs. Moudevi is an enigmatic deity known for her ability to sow discord and bring about misery in people's lives. Her presence evokes both fascination and trepidation among believers who seek to understand the complexities of human suffering. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this divine being while showcasing intricate details that highlight her significance within Indian folklore. The juxtaposition of Moudevi atop a humble donkey emphasizes her power over adversity despite appearing unassuming at first glance. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient mythologies while appreciating the artistic mastery behind its creation. As we gaze upon this print from Sepia Times / UIG (Universal Images Group), we are transported into a world where gods and goddesses shape destinies through their influence over humanity's joys and sorrows.
