EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "All Victorious". Guanyin Bodhisattva, a gilt bronze sculpture with lacquer from Yunnan Province in China. Created by the Chinese School during the 12th century, this masterpiece measures 48.9x11.9x6.7 cm and is currently housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The figure depicted in this sculpture is none other than Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion. One can easily identify her due to the presence of Buddha Amitabha's figure on her crown, symbolizing her connection to him. Standing gracefully with a royal crown atop her head, she emanates an aura of serenity and strength. The symbolism behind this artwork is profound; it represents victory over suffering and embodies compassion as a guiding force for humanity. The intricate carving details highlight its Eastern origins while showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Yunnan Province. As one gazes upon this statue, they are transported into a realm where grace meets divinity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenges, there is always hope and triumph through compassion. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' fine art photography skills, viewers can now appreciate every intricacy and nuance captured within this remarkable piece from Chinese history without having to travel across continents or centuries.
