EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a lintel from My Son, an ancient cluster of Hindu temples in Vietnam. Created by the Cham School during the 9th century, this stone masterpiece depicts a king being safeguarded by parasols, symbolizing his royal status and protection. Intricately carved in the style of Chan Lo, this bas relief sculpture exudes exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The king is portrayed seated with an air of authority while surrounded by loyal followers and servants. Standing tall with their weapons at hand, they form a shield around him, emphasizing his importance and power. The composition of this artwork captures the essence of Cham artistry, showcasing their mastery in sculpting stone into lifelike forms. Every element within this frieze tells a story – from the regal figure to the protective entourage that surrounds him. Photographed by eLuca Tettoni and now out of copyright restrictions, this image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind My Son's architectural wonders. It serves as a reminder of Champa's rich cultural heritage and its contribution to Southeast Asian art. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder that transports us back in time through visual storytelling.
