EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Giant recumbent figure of Buddha in Pegu, Burma. Created by the Stereo Travel Co in 1908, this image showcases the second largest Buddha figure in the world. Standing at a remarkable length of 55 meters and towering 16 meters tall, the Shwethalyaung Buddha is believed to have been constructed during the reign of Mon King Migadepa in 994. The sculpture's colossal size is truly breathtaking, as it rests peacefully on its plinth amidst a serene landscape adorned with palm trees. The intricate details of this monochrome masterpiece are beautifully captured through stereoscopic photography, allowing viewers to appreciate every nuance. As one gazes upon this magnificent work of art, they can't help but be transported back to ancient times when Buddhism flourished in Burma. The seated figure exudes tranquility and wisdom while being guarded by two majestic lion statues on either side. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into Burmese history and culture. It symbolizes the devotion and reverence that Buddhists hold for their religion while showcasing the architectural brilliance of that era. Preserved through time, this stunning print from Heritage Images allows us to marvel at both the artistic mastery behind its creation and its significance within Buddhist traditions.
