EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture titled "Buddha Giving the First Sermon (Dharmachakrapravartanamudra)" from the late 10th or early 11th century. Belonging to the Pala period, this exquisite piece of art is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, known for its extensive collection of Asian arts. Carved meticulously out of black stone, this close-up image beautifully captures Buddha in a seated posture with his legs crossed. The intricate detailing and decorative elements on this sculpture reflect the rich heritage and artistic finesse prevalent during that era. The photograph highlights an important moment in Buddhist history as it depicts Buddha gesturing with his hands in Dharmachakra Mudra, symbolizing the turning of the wheel of dharma. This hand gesture signifies Buddha's first sermon delivered after attaining enlightenment. The unknown artist skillfully portrays Buddha's serene expression and tranquil demeanor, capturing his spiritual essence effortlessly. The color composition adds depth to this ancient masterpiece, enhancing its visual appeal. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to Bihar, India - where it originated during the reign of an empire that remains unnamed. This print serves as a testament to Asia's profound influence on religious art and offers us a glimpse into centuries-old traditions still cherished today.
