EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Tsong Khapa, a renowned Tibetan scholar and philosopher. Created in 1834 by an anonymous artist from the Tibetan school, this mixed media masterpiece measures an impressive 154.9x106.7 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The intricate details of this piece are truly awe-inspiring. The artist skillfully employed various materials such as Chinese (Qing) and Russian brocades, leather, pearls, and couching threads to create a stunning applique design. Notably, horsehair wrapped in silk with gold foil was used for couching threads, adding a touch of opulence to the artwork. The painting itself measures 81.3 x 59.7 cm and depicts Tsong Khapa with remarkable precision and reverence. Every brushstroke captures his wisdom and spiritual presence, making it evident why he is revered as one of Tibet's most important figures. Accompanied by original silk dustcovers, ribbons, and silver-gilt caps on dowel rods for preservation purposes, this artwork represents both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. Displayed as part of The Alice S. Kandell Collection at the Freer Gallery of Art, this thangka painting serves as a testament to Tsong Khapa's enduring legacy while providing viewers with a glimpse into Tibet's rich artistic traditions.
