EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art, the "Standing bodhisattva with attendants" from the Period of Division in China (550-577). Created by an unknown artist during the 6th century, this sculpture beautifully embodies the essence of Buddhism and its rich cultural heritage. The image captures the standing figure of a bodhisattva, surrounded by attendants, against a striking black background. The intricate carving and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this artwork. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the delicate hand gestures, known as mudras, made by both the bodhisattva and his attendants. As we delve into Chinese history and religious practices, this piece becomes even more significant. It represents not only a period marked by political division but also reflects the artistic achievements that flourished during this time. This sculpture is a testament to China's deep-rooted Buddhist traditions and serves as an educational tool for those seeking knowledge about ancient civilizations. Displayed at Arthur M Sackler Gallery within Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, it stands as a symbol of cultural preservation and appreciation. Through its presence in this scientific institution dedicated to promoting arts and education, viewers can explore centuries-old craftsmanship while gaining insights into Chinese history and spirituality. With its vibrant colors and exquisite details captured in this studio shot photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary masterpiece created by an anonymous artist whose legacy lives on through their exceptional work.
