6th Century Buddha Buddhism Cross Legged Grey Background Hands Clasped Archaeological Artifact
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the serene beauty of a statue of a sitting Buddha, carved from grey limestone in the 6th century A. D. Located in Henan province's Gongxian caves, this ancient artifact is now housed at the Musee National des Arts Asiatiques Guimet in Paris, France. The image captures the full length of the sculpture, highlighting its intricate details and craftsmanship. The Buddha sits cross-legged with hands clasped together, exuding an aura of tranquility and spiritual enlightenment. This remarkable piece represents not only Chinese art but also an important part of ancient civilization and antiquities. Its presence evokes a sense of history and religious devotion. In this studio shot against a grey background, we witness the mastery behind this archaeological artifact. The sculpture's vertical posture emphasizes its grandeur while showcasing its male likeness and human representation. With no people present in the frame, our focus remains solely on this magnificent work of art. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era - to a time when Buddhism flourished as one of humanity's most profound religions. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to transcend time and captivate us with its eternal beauty.
