About the Item
Title: Rare 1806 Trimurti Trinity Antique Print - Hindu Deity Engraving Collectible
Description: This striking antique print, titled "Trimourty ou Trinité des Indiens," portrays the Hindu Trimurti, the sacred trinity of gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, representing creation, preservation, and destruction.
The deity is depicted with three heads, each crowned with an ornate headdress, seated in a meditative pose on a pedestal. The figure holds symbolic objects, including a flame and prayer beads, embodying the spiritual essence of the Trimurti in Hindu theology.
The intricate line work, detailed patterns, and delicate shading highlight the artist’s skill in capturing this profound religious concept.
The copperplate engraving was created by Jean-Baptiste Marie Poisson after an illustration by Pierre Sonnerat, a prominent French naturalist and explorer. It was published in Sonnerat’s renowned work, Voyage aux Indes Orientales et à la Chine (Dentu, Paris, 1806), which documented his travels and observations of Eastern cultures. Copperplate engraving, the technique used, was favored in the early 19th century for its ability to produce fine details, as evident in the deity’s elaborate attire and textured surroundings.
This print is particularly fascinating as a historical artifact of cross-cultural exchange, reflecting early 19th-century European fascination with Indian spirituality. It offers a glimpse into how Hindu theology was interpreted and represented in the West during that era. The aged paper, with its subtle patina, enhances the print’s authenticity, making it a prized addition for collectors of religious art, ethnographic studies, or early 19th-century engravings. Its connection to Sonnerat’s influential travelogue further elevates its historical and cultural significance.
