EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from "Dewa Loka" an illustration featured in Edward Upham's renowned book, "The History and Doctrine of Buddhism". Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Indian religious beliefs. Intriguingly, Dewa Loka represents a celestial realm where gods and devas reside, akin to the concept of Heaven. The image portrays a divine gathering on an elevated platform adorned with intricate designs. Seated cross-legged are various deities, both male and female, deep in meditation or prayer. They exude an aura of tranquility as they connect with their spiritual selves. Attendants stand guard around these ethereal beings while wearing elaborate headdresses that symbolize their devotion and reverence. Each detail within this artwork reflects the profound significance attributed to every aspect of Buddhist worship. The composition effortlessly transports viewers into a world beyond our own, inviting contemplation on higher realms and spiritual enlightenment. It serves as a visual reminder of the rich tapestry woven by ancient belief systems like Buddhism. This remarkable print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible through Bridgeman Images. Its historical value lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its ability to shed light on centuries-old traditions still cherished today.
