EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the "Bodhisattva Kannon with a Lotus Blossom" sculpture, created by an unknown Japanese artist in the 18th century. Standing at a height of 73.5 cm, this wooden masterpiece is adorned with gilding and lacquer, adding to its ethereal beauty. The Bodhisattva Kannon is depicted seated in the lotus position, holding a delicate lotus blossom in their hands. Originally portrayed as a male figure before evolving into a female representation of compassion and mercy, this particular artwork is believed to be an Edo era variant influenced by earlier Muromachi and Momoyama periods. Every intricate detail on this sculpture reflects the rich religious symbolism associated with Buddhism. The downcast eyes convey serenity and introspection while the golden crown signifies divinity. The ornate carving on the wooden surface adds depth and texture to this divine creation. Housed within Narodni Galerie in Prague, Czech Republic, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Japan's artistic heritage and spiritual devotion. Its presence evokes contemplation and reverence for Buddhist teachings while showcasing Japan's mastery of decorative arts. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, viewers can appreciate not only the skillful execution but also immerse themselves in the profound spirituality that emanates from this sacred work of art.
